    Exclamation BC trip in Aug/September

    I will be headed to BC for some DH/shuttling during either the last few weeks of August or the first few weeks in September. I'm planning to ride The Shore, Squamish, Whistler, Kamloops and any worthy places in between. Does anyone here want to partake in the fun. I will have a shuttle capable vehicle with space for one, so if you want to fly in to Van, you won't have to rent. I can get some deals on lodging in Van and Whistler, if you want to split a room. You don't have to be there for the whole time I am. I just want to split costs with someone for at least a week or so and enjoy riding with someone.

    You know you wanna take a trip like this this year. DO IT! Looking for someone that can commit to certain dates. Let me know if you're interested and we can work on setting dates.

    Just a note but I am planning a trip with a couple peeps from SLC who would probably be in on something like this. Not sure how many of us yet but I can help organize. I lived on the North Shore 2 years ago too so I know it pretty well and have freinds in the area.

    Okay, make it September. The Whistler week will be Sept 16-20something... followed by the Loops, Squamish, and Van.

    Definatley hit up Loops. When when you get to town, hit me up. There is so much going on here right now. You could spend a solid week here and still not hit everything. Here are some of the local goodies to make sure to hit:
    Kamloops Bike Ranch
    Rose Hill (if its still accessable)
    Harper
    Jamison
    Sun Peaks (lift access)
    Silver Star (lift access)

    The Ranch, Rose and Jamison can be done in the same day. Harper you would want to spend a whole day at. Maybe two. SP a day. SS a day. That will you a good fill of the Interior. Kelowna is also going off right now. Good stuff happening there too.

    Yeah, I'll let you know. I've ridden Sun Peaks a couple times, but I know they'll be closed in late September. I've also ridden Harper, but would like to do more there.

    I'll be up there in september.....also with a good shuttle truck

    We should meet up for a day. We'll be at whistler two days but in the woods for the remaining 8-10 days.

    I would LOVE for someone to show me around Kamloops

    I would absolutely love to do a trip like this. That time frame would probably even work out pretty well for me. However, and I can't state this strongly enough, I really SUCK at mountain biking, at least in terms of DH/freeride/Shore stuff. I am 100% confident that my flailing and likely injuring myself would be a real drag on the trip.
