MTB West Spray Reservoir / High Rockies Trail with Mike

PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH TO GET YOU AND YOUR BIKE READY BY THE 9AM START TIME

The route is on easy and moderate trails, and we'll be travelling at a moderate pace, regrouping at every intersection or every 15 minutes, whichever comes first.  No one will be left behind.   

Coordinator:   Mike W
Type of Ride:  MTB
Distance:  59km
Cumulative Elevation Gain:  800m (not 908m as RWGPS says)
Anticipated Pace:  Moderate
Duration:  5 - 5½ hours moving time, 6 - 7 hours total time
Route:  We start and end at the east side of 3 Sisters Dam just off the Smith Dorrien / Hwy 742.  We cross the dam and go south on the west side of the Spray Reservoir (gravel road (closed to traffic), double-track, and single-track) to its south end.  The route then climbs the hiking trail to Watridge Lake, followed by double-track to the Mount Shark XC ski area parking lot.  Then down the access road to the Smith Dorrien, and 3.5km north on the Smith Dorrien to the Buller Day Use Area.  From there we ride the High Rockies Trail back to the 3 Sisters Dam.
What to Bring:  Mountain bike in good condition (or gravel bike if you want a challenge!), bear spray, the usual tools, spare tube, pump, first aid kit, fluids and food, clothing for the forecast weather.
