Ride Recap: Another big turnout for one of the most popular rides of the year. The group chose “All or Nothing Day” from the list of national days and what a day to go all the way to the top of the mountain.
39 riders in 34 machines enjoyed perfect weather and trail conditions.
Everyone showed excellent trail etiquette, sticking to the trail at all times.
Leaving Enderby at 9:30am Sunday July 26
It’s time to get high again, all the way to 7400′ at the Mara Mountain Lookout.
Leaving the Enderby and District Chamber of Commerce parking lot at 702 Railway Street in Enderby at 9:30am, from there we head east out to the staging area on Kingfisher FSR.
The convoy will leave the Tim Horton’s on 58th Avenue (by Walmart) at 8:45am en route to Enderby.
A few critically important things to know for this ride:
COVID-19 is still a thing so keep your distance at all times and stay home if you’re not well.
Stay on the trail at all times, there is ZERO tolerance for riding off trail in the alpine (or any time for that matter).
Come prepared for all weather conditions, at this elevation things can change quickly.
This ride is average difficulty and can be accomplished by intermediate level riders. There is one advanced level obstacle, a small rock ledge that can be difficult if you hit it incorrectly. We will assist anyone not comfortable with riding this obstacle themselves to ensure everyone gets up safely.

Ride Recap: Thanks again Steve for heading up a fun ride. The trails from Irish Creek Road to Pinaus Lake make use of lots of old and deactivated roads which provide excellent riding.
The only bummer is Pinaus Creek has undermined the road in a couple of spots resulting in narrow trail and nervous moments for a few riders.
10:30am Start Sunday July 12
Steve is back from the land of the (almost) midnight sun and he’s ready to ride again. Sunday is National Simplicity Day so don’t overthink it, just come out for a great day on the trails.
The ride starts at 10:30 from near the end of Irish Creek Road, if you’re showing up at 10:30 you’ll be left behind!
Irish Creek Road is 4km north of the Westside Road junction on Highway 97 North to Falkland/Kamloops and staging is near the end of the road.
Steve loves a campfire at lunch so bring something to roast at lunchtime.
What to Bring? All the usual stuff you need to be prepared for a day in the bush including (but not limited to):
Clothing for all conditions
Food and drink for the day
Camera and GPS
Trailside repair and first aid kit
It isn’t critical that each rider has all the items listed above but it is a good practice to be prepared for all possible situations when riding.
