Just a heads up, I just got this from James Varner, RD for Cle Elum, Sun Mtn, & Orcas Island. I'm not sure if I am in personally but thought a group of people might be interested in car pooling down.

GR

Between Squamish and Coquitlam lies Pine Cone - Burke Provincial Park.  Ascending Mamquam Pass and passing through the untouched wilderness of the Boise River valley is a roughly 50 km wild route called the Fools Gold Trail.  It was cleared in the 1990's by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee to bring attention to the value of the area, and was the impetus for the creation of the park itself to protect the area.

Run from William Jans' house in East Vancouver/Mount Pleasant to top of Grouse Mountain. 5th year running.  Hang about Ambleside park afterwards for a bit for Canada day stuffs and to eat yogurt. Bring a bit of cash for tram, food and possible bus home (unless we catch lifts).

I am planning to meet up with the House to Grouse runners on Canada Day - but given my pace, I am not kidding myself to be able to keep up.  I also don't want to include the Grind...which got me thinking of a very custom version of William's run.  Well, maybe it's a totally different run (but we still might meet the House to Grouse folks). 

Travel Material Fair: July 10 from 1pm to 4pm at the International Travel Maps & Books, 12300 Bridgeport, Richmond, half a block west of IKEA. This event provides a lot of free maps and guides.

Just cause I gotta get it done. I'm behind on my 50/50 milers for the year so I've decided to run Saturday and Sunday in Kal Park hosting the TripleBay-Double from my home Fatass style.

Your choice of distance, one to four 20k loops form my home through beautiful hilly Kal park and it's three bays, then back to my place. Must carry enough water to make the 20k loops. It will be hot. I will supply water and a bit of shade.

You are invited to the inaugural Rossland Run on July 18th, 2009. Distance options (approximate) are 55 km and 25 km. The course will be 95% singletrack with lots of climbing - and what goes up must come down. The starting point would be the Seven Summit trail-head (by Nancy Greene lake) and the ending point would be our place - 1817 Planer Crescent. Cold beverages and a bbq will follow the event. 

Long Version

What: There are hot springs in the mountains on Pitt River.   They are hard to reach.  Word is that they are quite beautiful.  This is an adventure that aims to reward the adventure-seeker with not only with an adventure, but with a relaxing dip in the springs!

Why: Because you've never been there before.

Who: Given that the hot springs are deep in the back country, this event is best suited to experienced back-road cyclists.  By invitation only.

When: Date is TBD in consultation with those who are interested in joining the adventure.  It has to be a Saturday or Sunday and it would be best to do this on a sunny, spring day.  We would aim to start and finish at the head of Pitt Lake during daylight.

More: Getting to the springs involves getting to the northern end of Pitt Lake, a 22K trek up a logging road and scaling 200M or so down a valley.  In order to accomplish this in a day, I recommend we take a boat up the lake and mountain bike to the springs.  I recommend the details be worked out with comments below

It's that time of the year again!   With Kneeknacker over and done with and STORMY coming up, Bill's Great Peak Ascent offers a great group training opportunity for those with upcoming races or just to wanting to get some more off-road mileage in.

As with last year, there'll be lots of swag possibilities for those who come to the post-run event.  And, of course, if that's not enough, there's always that free beer awaiting participants at the Mosquito Creek Grill.

Come and join us to celebrate and remember the life of a friend who can no longer run with us.

There is a slight change to the time of the "run" section for Mary Leliveld's Happy Trails Run.  We will start at 4:00 p.m. instead of 3:00 pm so we can start with the potluck dinner after the run is finished.
