Oilcan

Lee, Manny, Dane, me and the dogs, met at noon at the top of Dempsey.  But because of the recent rains we decided to drive over to Upper Lynn and ride up the road to the start of Oilcan.  

The snow started at the bottom of Sixth Lick and began in earnest at Oilcan.  The way down was only slippery on the icy bits (which were relatively easy to miss).  We did some ditching on Crossover, down Seventh, and along Leopard to Griffin.  Boy was it dark!  Given the easterly aspect, time of year, low cloud cover and late afternoon-the headlights almost came out.  

It was great fun to ride some bigger stuff.

Distance: 14km
Max Elevation: Start of Oilcan- 740m
Trail Maintenance: The usual, removed dead fall and some water management.
