More Vancouver Island Tracks for Download

Hi,

I've posted another couple of tracks for download, both in Google Earth KML and OziExplorer PLT:

  • All the major powerline routes on Vancouver Island.
    A detailed description is HERE.
    The track is HERE.

  • A bush camping spot on the San Juan river, near Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island.
    A detailed description is HERE.
    The track is HERE.
Enjoy, and don't forget to leave some feedback if you download a track... I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing all this but nobody really wants to know.

Route: Renfrew to Skutz Falls

Here's a section of the VMC 2006 Canada Day Dualsport race. It goes from Port Renfrew up to Skutz Falls. Parts of it are active logging road, even on Sundays, so be careful. Other parts include some really nice sections of single track.

All in all, it make a good back-route dualsport connector between the Sooke-Renfrew and the Cowichan Lake areas. There's a main road you can follow instead - but it's basically improved gravel - pretty boring on a dualsport, in my opinion.

You can download the tracks in Google Earth or OziExplorer formats HERE.

More tracks are available HERE.

A few More Routes on Vancouver Island

I've uploaded a few more tracks I've collected over the last while.

Cowichan Powerline Connector:
A short connector between two rural roads - perfect for dualsporting

Jordan River to Port Renfrew:
The hard way - as run on the 2006 VMC Dualsport Enduro

Mnt Prevost:
North of Duncan, forest service roads.

Old Baldy Mnt:
A lookout by Shawnigan Lake - nice view from the top.


Have fun!

Route from Port Alberni to Horn Lake

This route is only one way of many, I'm sure; there are lots of trails all around the place. I made this route on my KLR650 dualsport, with my girlfriend and camping gear, so it's not particularly difficult. At least, in the summer of 2006 it wasn't difficult: times change. Note that there are a couple of gates to go around, but both had well-worn trails around. There are some benefits to riding a bike.

Route to Labour Day Lake


Here's a route to Labour Day Lake, from the summit of the Alberni highway down through some 4x4 grade logging roads (as of the summer of 2006) and up to a parking area, sort of. The actual lake is about another kilometre or so down a hiking trail.
