Monday Oct.12 drone video
 

Sunday I drove the Honda 107km roundtrip to Boneyard Main locked gate at the 11km location along that eponymous road.

---

The road is rougher than a bear's butt though the vehicle made it in and out.

---

Since Mosaic Forests management opened Butler Main to the public October 1st the place has been inundated with users

---

Once at Boneyard Lake, I was wishing I had brought my DJImini2 drone along

---

The lake was like a mirror under sunny skies

---

The good news is I made it to the locked gate at the 11km marker and have applied to Mosaic for a key

BH Wednesday Jordie Lunn Bike Park 10/7/26  

Wednesday Oct. 7 Graant led Don and Bill on an interesting ride to Jordie Lunn Bike Park in Langford, BC.

---

Grant has quite a repertoire of cycling trails none of which can be described as boring.

---

Once in Langford, Grant led us directly along the Galloping Goose Trail to the 18km marker. (no E&N outbound)

---

This put the riders past Glen Lake and onto Glen Lake Rd heading past Langford's City Centre Park then up-and-over to West Shore Parkway.

---

From Parkway it's onto Meridian Ave to 2990 Irwin Rd.

---

Inbound, Grant included a scenic loop around Langford Lake and back to the E&N Rail Trail through downtown Langford.

---

Just another great ride with Bravehearts Cycling Group Thanks Grant.
