Hello Jim. I'd be happy to tag along, but I have not kept up with all the changing road closures over the past 2 decades on Vancouver Island. We need someone more up-to-date to chime in here. The closures have been an on going frustration and it is generally not recommended to share trail maps or even talk about routes. That topic alone can be hot controversy. The next obstacle is lining up schedules with others. Seems like whenever I meet people on a run and try to make a future arrangement, it never lines up. We have gone alone on over 50% of our trips.

Like you, I'm a family man with a Jeep full of children and would also like some family friendly group runs. My wife says these events are a big waste of fuel, but the kids have a good time. I haven't been out in about 3 years. I know a few runs, but was hoping for learn some new routes. I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, 33" tires, locked front/rear, winch, onboard air.

Thanks. I will probably hit you up for a tag along to Mt. Sicker some weekend. This weekend I may be reprimanded for Christmas light installation duty though.

Have you been to the Mt. Whymper crash site?

Pardon my ignorance, but would those be west of Duncan? If towards Nanaimo, that's a bit too far for us.

Alright thanks. The Discussion section seemed like such a mess to me - didn't think run plans would be buried in there. I guess my missed the social media storm and my brain is resisting the adaption. Time for me to check into the old folks home.

Nobody's doing anything on south island Saturday then? My wife has been getting on my case hard to "get out" and entertain the kids. Cabin fever setting in I guess.

I managed to sign up for a Facebook account and join the group, however I find the Facebook platform painfully difficult to use. Nothing is intuitive and it seems like I'm always clicking my way out of where I want to look, as if Facebook intentionally tries to change the user's focus to some other section of the site.

Where do the casual weekend outings get posted? Is it under the Events tab? If so, I don't see much in there. Someone mentioned seeing a run to the WWII plane rec site posted for 11 Nov, but I'm too antiquated to find even that posting. Help!
