Month: December 2021

1:30pm Start – Sunday December 12, 2021

You picked the date and location, we’re going back to Noble Canyon again this weekend because it’s the best lower elevation riding around.

Mt Ida trails all start around 1100m and King Eddy is 1300m+ whereas Noble Canyon starts at 700m and goes up to 1200-1300m so a lot less snow.

The safety meeting is at 1:30pm at the cattleguard 350m along Noble Canyon Road, remember no unloading before the cattleguard!

This is an intermediate level ride with how slippery the trails are and the additional snow. A single tank of fuel will be enough, bring your winter riding gear and snow extraction gear.

The plan is to be back down around dark so a total of approximately 4 hours of riding.

1:30pm Start Sunday December 5

The ride safety meeting starts at a positively leisurely time of 1:30pm at the cattleguard which is 350m up Noble Canyon Road from Highway 6. Remember ATVs can’t unload before the cattleguard so drive up the road a bit and park along either side, there’s lots of parking for the first couple of kms.

It looks like snow may return by Sunday but it shouldn’t be enough to slow us down. Starting at 1:30pm is a bit different but allows folks to do what they want to do Sunday morning and go for a 3-4 hour ride in the afternoon.

The Fine Print:

• Ride speed will be determined by who shows up.
• A single tank of fuel will suffice.
• Bring your all weather gear and emergency kit.
• We’ll pass outhouses at Rec Sites along our route.
• Invite a friend, this may be the end of the warm spell.
