I'm certain that a bunch of us Lower Mainlanders would love to accompany you, but you have to promise it won't rain.
Some of us are old and grumpy and don't like getting our feet wet

Trevor,   both of us have yet to ride our bikes to Gold River,  we have talked about it but have made it no further than Campbell River on our previous journeys.
Sounds like a hoot!!

According to the guys at Destination Highways the Gold River road is ranked #4 in all of BC. After finally riding it with Trevor on Saturday and Sunday I think it is quite clear to me that this is the best road on the Island for sure! If you want to be aggressive it is technical enough to bring a smile to your face or if you just want to cruise and enjoy your surroundings it has loads of spectacular scenery. Win win! Its funny, I know how much it can rain at Gold River, but I've been there twice in the last couple of weeks and all I saw was sunshine...

I spent the weekend on the Island (went to the Ribfest blues event), I now understand why they say that Vancouver Island has a month called fogust, it comes after August but not always at the same time every year. Left the heat and sun of Chilliwack to spend a weekend in damp fog, however the ribs were incredible and the music was great.

Hope you're right Henry....I still feel sick when I look under my bike

I worked on the generators and paper machine at Gold river from '82 through to when they shut down and got to know that road extremely well. Never did it on a bike but it would be a trip I would take if something gets organised.

Dr Virago, nice pics and OMG I want that REO, no really, I lust for those things but Janice says the bikes are enough.
