But no luck, I will have to try in September when there's no snow.<br /><br />For BC day I plan an 8 day epic Chilcotin ride / packraft. At the end of the Bridge River road there is another road that goes north up a side valley. From there I will whack 1 km up to the alpine, then cross 8 km of this westward to a small river I then packraft down north into the Lord River. Then I raft down this to Taseko Lake and from there it's a straightforward ride back through Warner Pass to Gold Bridge.<br /><br />I'm setting my bike up for bikepacking, Cass Gilbert-style, I don't like backpacks while riding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402376154963535568.post-65272281689369824612013-07-05T16:38:38.714-07:002013-07-05T16:38:38.714-07:00No worries Frank...

The South Chilcotins also have great day rides...PAT MULROONEYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415128967485021856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402376154963535568.post-39727273534781901442013-07-05T14:36:55.075-07:002013-07-05T14:36:55.075-07:00Wow!

Thanks for clarifyin...Wow! That's quite a bit. <br />Thanks for clarifying what Nancies we are here in Central Europe with our dense infrastructure. When we cycled a week through the Italian alps, we had only small daypacks to carry and slept at huts where food was served.<br />Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09566362124110383675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402376154963535568.post-24443238966787264792013-07-05T14:18:57.824-07:002013-07-05T14:18:57.824-07:00Cheers Frank.... glad to hear you're inspired ...Cheers Frank.... glad to hear you're inspired to come to Canada.

Pat, you make me want see Canada one day. Though not sure if I'd prefer Winter for backcountry skiing or Summer for mountainbiking.<br /><br />Out of interest: Do you know how much your backpacks weighed at the beginning? Must've been quite a load.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09566362124110383675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402376154963535568.post-41784978181773087042013-07-05T09:00:58.041-07:002013-07-05T09:00:58.041-07:00Cheers Ina...
