Fall Activities

7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge

September - example of the challenge is the one on Saturday, September 29, 2009 as follows:

Start in Barkerville at 7:30 am and race up through Historic Barkerville Townsite to Groundhog lake (in the alpine)...hike Agnes and Bald Mtn, return to bike and ride the ditchline back to Cow mountain, overlooking Wells. Hike up Cow mountain and back to your bike.  Ride down the face of Cow Mountain and enter Wells to refuel and water. Ride to the Northeast on paved and gravel road over to Mount Murray Trailhead.  Drop your bike, and hike up Murray, along alpine ridges to Slide mountain, and descend Slide. Meanwhile, we move your bike to the bottom of Slide, and then you ride over Downey Pass back to Wells via the 1 mile road. 7 Mountains and 5 Summits later, you're home!
There is some significant down-hilling on some portions of this ride, but you're going to want your cross country bike because there is some hill to climb too.  All the riding is on existing mine roads or ditch lines. There is a very minimal amount of single track and it is level (along a beautiful abandoned ditch-line on Cow Mountain). The whole race looks like a giant figure-eight.
