Parts update - swapped my front forks for some Fox 40s, as well as swapped out a Bridgestone Battlecross X30 front tire, and Maxxis Maxxcross IT rear tire. Running standard innertubes for now but I think I'm going to go tubeless at some point. The new tires have improved traction considerably and the fork is much more tunable and should be longer lasting.
Oh and I swapped back to the straight bars and think I actually prefer them even though everyone seems to run risers on this bike.
Here are some shots of the new setup overlooking Port Alberni from the south.
You will find much, much better spots off the FSRs. The further you can get from the main roads the less you will be bothered. Most of the south island is private land.
Not sure how insurance works but a couple of us are going to check out Whiskey Creek riding area tomorrow if you want to meet up.
What are you driving? Are you looking for campsites or bush camping? For a multi day trip you might want to check out some of the north island - tons of areas to explore up there. Best bet is to get on google earth and do some virtual exploring - find a few remote or cool looking areas, and then see if you can get there. That's where the best adventure is found.
When are you planning to visit the Island? I know a few trails in the Alberni valley that would fit the bill, but snow will be an issue until later in the summer as they are at elevation. Happy to lead a group July/Aug though if you're interested.
