We are gearing up for a day of two-wheeled fun! To help ensure a smooth day please find general information regarding the clinic.
WHEN
Registration begins at 8:30 AM SHARP! The clinic begins at 9AM. We ride in ALL WEATHER. Please plan to allow for time to register and get yourself acquainted with the group you will be riding with for the day. Clinics will run until roughly 3:30PM.
WHERE
The clinic is located 20 minutes northeast of Kamloops, BC.
BE AWARE THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE ONCE YOU PASS THE ESSO GAS STATION AND BEGIN THE CLIMB UP PAUL LAKE ROAD (make sure you have your directions sorted before you leave cell service).
We have spray painted orange arrows on the trees! The turnoff to the parking area is HERE. You will turn left onto the gravel road.
As you travel up the gravel road, the turnoff for the clinic parking lot is HERE. Look for the orange spray painted arrows posted on the gravel road to help direct you. It is 4.2 kilometer from the turnoff. The parking lot is off the main road on a gravel road, please watch for large potholes; some of the sections of the road are a bit bumpy but the road is certainly passable for 2WD vehicles.
Keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly. This is mountain weather and changes quickly and unpredictably. The training site is at 3500’ and the weather is usually 5-7 degrees cooler than the Kamloops forecast. If it is wet you're going to want a light shell jacket and some extra clothes to change into. We teach and ride in ALL weather.
SPECTATORS (INCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS)
We do not allow spectators at the clinic, no exceptions. Parents, spouses, GF/BF and friends, no matter how well-intentioned, create unnecessary distractions for all participants. Thank you for your understanding.
BIKE SETUP & THE IMPORTANCE OF TRACTION
There are an infinite amount of ways to set up your adventure bike.
During clinic, our primary concern is traction.
The more off-road centric your tire setup is, the more you will enjoy this class. We are not necessarily suggesting a tire change for class but, if you are running a 90% street/10% off-road tire, traction will be elusive and will increase the difficulty level. If it happens to be raining or we are on wet ground, it will exponentially compound the difficulty.
Keep in mind that 100% of our time will be spent in an off-road environment. Contact us at the email below if you have questions.
MEALS
Please bring a bagged lunch (and a backpack to carry it). We are going to have lunch at the training area which is located a few kilometers from the meet point.
THINGS TO BRING
Your Bike
Protective Gear (Helmet, boots, gloves, goggles, jersey and pants, etc)
Layers & Rain Jacket (in case of weather changes)
