Squamish Run - Sunday 5th May 2013

[ANDYD]

We have a Club run in the Squamish area this Sunday, RL member Shad has agreed to give us the tour of some trails he knows well. This is in the Starvation Lake Area just north of Squamish. He has access through some privately owned areas so even if you have explored the Squamish area a lot, this could be a good chance to see something new.

What - Berubies Squamish Run
When - Sunday May 5th, meeting at Squamish Tim Hortons at 9am, departing at 9.30am sharp
Why - Explore new areas and get some good mountain air in your lungs!
What else - Bring a packed lunch or pick up lunch at Tim's in the morning. We expect to be back on the Sea to Sky by 4pm.
Post up if you are coming out so we know to look out for you .....
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks, Shad! :D Thanks, Andy! :D

I'm in. Ming needs some exercise.

Andy, is Big Blue back up and running?

[ANDYD]

Hi Craig,

Yes after some minor surgery (bent piston rod) I am back up and running again ....
Engines dont like to compress water!

Tell you all about it on Sunday,
Andy

Hi all, it's been a while since I have been out and now have an LR3. I dont want to be a wimp, but am nervous about likely damage on my new toy. Dont have any knobbly tires on yet.
Does anybody have a rough idea of sort of trails - likely pinstriping levels etc?

Tony

[Crs]

^ Shad did say he was going up today to cut back some branches to minimize pinstriping, but its hard to completely eliminate it.

[Crs]

I just wanted to check, we're meeting at the Tim Horton's at 38930 Progress Way, Squamish, BC V0N 3G0, right? Thanks.

[TonyCarey]

Thanks, good enough for me, I'll be there.

Tony

[ANDYD]

Craig, Yes, Tim's is at Progress Way. You go through Squamish heading north, turn left on Industrial Way, you can see Tim's from the main Sea to Sky highway
Tony, I haven't been on these roads so I can't really give you any accurate info on the difficulty. Shad did say he was cleaning the trail of scratching bush for the newer vehicles. I believe all the runs we will do, we come back out the way we went in so if you feel like you don't want to push on we will collect you on the way back,

See you all on Sunday morning,

Cheers,
Andy

[TonyCarey]

Thanks Andy, see you there.

Well our fridge broke down, wife is out of town on a stagette and son number two threw up in my truck today... Twice... But all is good... We will see you tomorrow at timmies...

[jikjak]

wish i could have made it on this run, but i just saw this now.
have fun guys and please let me know if you see any bears!

[Crs]

Fun day! :D A big thank you to all, especially Shad & Co for hosting us and to everyone who wiggled engine bits knowledgeably to get me going again. :D

Ming drove home perfectly - probably the best she's driven since I've owned her, so I guess I'll chalk it up to her being 'hot and bothered'.

[StuartL]

Shad,

Thank you for welcoming us into your neighourhood and the opportunity to meet some of your wonderful friends.

Stuart, Ireland and Wing Wing

[Arcades]

Zachary and myself had a great time. Thanks to our very knowledgable and competent guide! It was great meeting everyone and I look forward to many more runs....

[ANDYD]

Great turn out, amazing weather, thanks to Shad and the "Too Far Off Road" crew for showing us around.
