Nice Ride Christian, although you could've left the "C" word out of the title...sure getting tired of reading/hearing that word
How were the roads higher up on #1 and #3....reasonably free of gravel and crap? I've been out a lot the past month or so...mostly Fraser Valley , Mission to Hope, Hatzic, Chilliwack & Cultas Lake etc. It's been reasonably quiet for the most part...until yesterday when it seemed every bike or bike group from Vancouver, Surrey, etc decided it was OK to jam the highway and ride out this way. It was crazy. Biggest laugh I got was all the Sasquatch Inn regulars in full biker dress mode, crammed in and hanging out in the parking lot even though the Inn is closed. Guess they have no idea where to actually ride, other than to the designated "biker bar" and then go home
Pretty spectacular weekend weather-wise though....lots of good local roads to get away from the crazies...
As soon as we left Merritt on Saturday it got cold, really cold! Temperatures went down to as low as 4 degrees, we were a little bit frozen by the time we arrived in Hope. Roads were ok.
On Sunday's ride there was a lot of gravel between Lillooet and Pemberton. Nothing too crazy though. Took it easy on that stretch, just cruising along.
