Bike 2:56:32 [2] 33.0 km (11.2 kph) +1000m
Road trip with CO to Pemberton. Weather forecast is a bit unsettled and then around some other ideas for places to go but in the end decided to stick with the original plan and make the most of it. Today was a driving day with a stop in Kamloops to mountain bike. Weather worsened a little while we were riding and had a few short showers but otherwise acceptable riding weather. The showers did make a few of the Pineview trails greasy.
We started at Kenna Cartwright where we hit most of the better Singletrack. It seemed like we rode a lot of stuff in the wrong direction - kept seeing a local guy riding the other way and definitely had some climbs that would be better descents. For future reference Deer Run is better west to east, and the western loop is best clockwise. Overall found the trails to be good for a first ride of the year but nothing amazing which was my previous recollection of them. After a couple hours rode over to pineview for an extra loop. Unfortunately the best trails there are closed for grazing but did a nice climb up switch it up and rode down a new trail called beer run which was a little more technical. I realized at this point that I had been riding with my fork in climb mode all day - doh.
