Solo flatlander lookin for guided BC backcountry riding

[Buckett]

I want to hit up the hills this season but the more i wait the more it looks like I'll be making a solo trip. Fuel's gonna be a b!@tch but i love to ride so gotta do wut i gotta do... I'll be driving from SK so looking for a place closer to the East side of BC for a 4 day trip, give or take, sometime in march or april.

anyone know of a good lodge/camp/outfit that would take a solo rider maybe to join up with another group and wouldnt cost a $h!t ton for lodging/guides? Thanks!

meet me along the way! I gotta PM from a great backcountry rider from SK saying he'd be willing to show me the way, I'm gonna work out the details try n set something up for late march or early april. U'd be more than welcome to join

Keep me posted. I've never ridden BC and have always wanted to. I always end up going stateside.

I'll be setting something up soon, this week or the next, I can book the time off, but I need to know when other guys are free to go before i do, cuz i can book any week off. The # of guys goin changes a lot of things, so does each persons schedule. I'll keep u posted

Any updates?

 

[Buckett]

well, might as well bump this post back up haha...

Still workin on gettin out west, nuthin solid as of yet tho, just a maybe. If that maybe works out, bet ur *** I'll be goin! Plus any other trips thrown my way...

Anyone headin out to BC from MB, SK, AB? Or maybe a BC local that can show me the ropes?? Me n maybe 1 or 2 more guys. Montana might not b a bad trip either, but heard the conditions aren't as good as bc right now

 

[Blk88GT]

I'm still in for a trip. The BC guys are pretty quiet

Riding tomorrow up here in Chetwynd, your welcome to come along. The pineapple express is pounding us with snow.

 

[Blk88GT]

Short notice seeing as there's at least an 18 hour drive

**** blk88, looks like we might get skunked!

Yamafest

Come to Revy for Yamafest on weekend of April 6th. Lots of people there and you could most likely hook up with others who would show you some less tracked areas on the Sunday. Easy area to get around for people unfam with the place. Usually get to see some stupid (awesome) climbs too.

look into any of the pro riders camps and you would be able to go solo.
Last year we did geoff kyles riding clininc at rene st onges lodge. there where a couple of solo guys there.

It may not work for this year, but definately would for next year.

thanks for the responses guys. time is ticking on our season out here. I should just wing-it and go to yamafest. i was thinkin bout goin in one of those camp rides too, be a great experience but fawk that's gonna be a pricey trip by myself. I should just move out there already
