• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Duffey Lake loop

Eight of us from the Vancouver Island Spyder group took 7 Spyders (6 RT's, and my F3 base) from Vancouver Island to ride the 'Duffey Lake Loop'. This is a very popular route with motorcycles. We did the route in clockwise fashion, leaving from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, overnighting in Cache Creek. From Horseshoe Bay, this segment of the ride was the Sea to Sky highway, passing attractions such as the Britannia Mines site, the Sea to Sky Gondola, and Whistler. We had lunch at Pemberton.

The following day, we rode the historic Fraser Canyon, stopping at Hell's Gate to stretch our legs. At the terminus of the Fraser Canyon, we rode towards Vancouver, for our route back to the Island. For me, the trip was 820 km riding (508 miles), plus ferry crossings of 1.5 hrs. each leg.

Trip went well, except for a major traffic delay of 1 hr on Hwy 1 near Abbotsford.

Exceptional Fall weather!
