[QUOTE="Ian Stephens, post: 943345, member: 15573"] The road between Kaslo and New Denver, just north of Castlegar is a must-ride, especially this year since the a near washout has been fixed. Last year between two trips I traversed that road 4 times! Highway 31 from the Balfour Ferry on Kootenay Lake north to Kaslo and then north to Marblehead is also brilliant, with very little traffic north of Kaslo (the pavement ends at or near Marblehead and its gravel further north to the Galena Bay Ferry). Some ST1300 riders, Guy Metcalfe and I found a road between Passmore and Crescent Valley called the Lower Passcreek Road on the west side of the Slocan river. It's not a fast road but there are plenty of challenging curves. I'll dig out the GPX file later. Nearly any road north of Castlegar is going to be a Destination Highways road, so you really can't go wrong. The only problem will be slowpokes and motor homes - and over-empowered LEOs. Although in three solid days of hard riding out of Nelson last summer, none of the 200+ ST1300 riders got dinged by the law, your mileage may vary though. Happy trails! Ian [/QUOTE]
