Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Pemberton

    Pemberton sits in a flat, green valley surrounded by high, jagged mountains, a short distance north of Whistler, and it feels like a different world from the resort next door. Mount Currie, a rugged peak with a grey crest, towers over the farmland, and the Lillooet River winds across the valley floor. Farmers here grow seed potatoes, which are prized for their disease-free quality, and the fields with their neat rows are the first thing you see on arrival. The town has about two thousand people, a few cafes, a brewery and a laid-back air.

    Planning note

    Pemberton sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Lillooet.

  2. 2. Lillooet

    Lillooet announces itself as a change of climate. You come down from the mountains of the Duffey Lake road, with their dark spruce and old snow, and within an hour the land has turned to sage, dry benches and bare golden slopes above the Fraser River. The town sits right on that river, in one of the hottest and driest corners of British Columbia, and a summer afternoon here can feel like Spain has been dropped into the Rockies.
