Dual Sport ride July 2
Hi all, I got this info about a pretty fun-sounding dual sport ride July 2 from someone at dualsportbc.com. For more info, go to www.dualsportbc.com and search July 2 to find the thread.
_____________________________________________________________________
Oh Boy The "C" Loop for the Dead Zone is Ready, we have pre ridden it, checked the route sheets twice and now we are ready to go. I have read the posts on this forum and listened closely to the new rider and am sure this is the challange you are looking for.
For your information the C Loop is
An adventure, you will ride roads you have never been on before, you will get lost and turned around then be amazed at where you come out. Don't worry though the entire route is arrowed so you wont be lost for long
Wild, you will see lots of wildlife, during the pre ride we saw Deer, Wild Horses, Bears, Eagles, and even fish. You will be riding lots of range land so you can practice weaving in and out with the Slow Cows
Ok for all sizes of Dual Sports DR200 to GS1200
Challenging, we have some hard C options, so you can decide if you want to ride the B loop next year
Long about 297 kms total with 90 kms of pavement, we have "Bail Outs" so if you've had enough you can take the pavement back to camp
Scenic much of the route takes you above 4000 feet
So make sure you get that bike insured and head on up to Lytton and join us.
If you pre sign up we will send you the route sheet by email a week before the ride so you can get it into your roll chart or if you do not have one of them you can mess around with it so you can read it during the ride
The B - A Route is for seasoned Dual Sporters Only. Single track and hard 4X4 roads. You guys know who you are, if your are not sure what kind of a rider you are do the C loop you still get some harder options, I guarantee you will enjoy your ride
Please check the begining of this thread to make sure you are on my list of "planning to Go"
If you are planing to go but do not see your name send me a email tom@dualsportbc.com or PM me.

BUMP!
Come on folks... we've only got 60 people registered so far for the A, B & C loops. Whether you bring your (plated) CRF250 or GS1150, you will have a great time.
Saturday July 2nd (long weekend); trailhead is a three hour drive northeast of Vancouver. Motels in Lytton or free camping.
$25cdn gets you a shirt , burgers & beer. Which means we cut & marked the routes for free! This is a high quality event comparable to the SheetIron, DirtyFace, BlackDog, RatDog, etc.
The trails are in great shape and you will not be dissappointed!
If you can't make this, then check out the D/S Routledge Run that we're putting on with the GVRD on July 23/24th. More great trails!

We are super stoked for this weekend!!! Should be FUN.
Afterwards, we are heading North with the backroads mapbook as Sagot has the week after off. The cool part is that we are reviewing our South America spare parts and tools list to see what to bring along with for roadside repairs, etc. and we're like "we don't need this, don't need this... jeez, if we need this, we'll just rent a truck, load up the bikes and drive home....". Life is so easy in North America!!!!!
