Ride starts @ 9:30am Saturday August 23
PLEASE NOTE: we’re asking for people to contact the club to let us know if you’re coming for this one because the meeting point is the bush and we don’t feel like trying to hunt people down. If you’re attending email info@vernonatvclub.ca and we’ll fill you in on the details.
We will be leaving our usual Tim Horton’s meeting spot on 58th Avenue (opposite Walmart) at 8:00am.
Ride length will be approximately 150km, most machines will go that far on a tank but if you have fuel anxiety you’ll want to bring some extra gas.
This will be an all day ride, bring food and gear for a day on the trails.
Ride Recap
What a ride, thank you to Stephen and the Kelowna ATV Club for taking us on a tour of the Westside trails.
We staged from the parking lot across from Parker Cove and met at the junction of Whiteman Creek Rd and Sugarload Mountain Rd. From there we went south to the White Elephant Mine near the Valley of the Sun development then headed west and north to the Brett Mine for lunch.
After lunch a short stop at Bouleau Lake then the plan was to continue to Pinaus Lake but somehow a rock got stuck inside the radiator fan on one machine, every time the fan came on the rock would wear deeper into the radiator until it finally wore through dumping all the coolant.
A really fun ride through the haunting beauty of an area burnt by forest fire and the amazing recovery taking place. There are a couple areas where the trail is being compromise by runoff and a creek undercutting the trail so you have to be on your toes if you download this track from the Vernon ATV Club Trail Share.
