IDIDaRide Deets!
Trails for two of the three races are confirmed for July 3
iDIDaRide in Kaslo.
17 km: the mid range course, for both riders and runners.
Kaslo arena is the staging point this year and participants will
head west down Arena Ave and climb up into the True Blue
Trail system via the Hemlock network to the gravel pit. From
there you will follow Bjerkness Road and jump back onto
the trail system at Sourdough, through to Destiny Ridge,
the Connector and climb up to Strawberry Ridge. You will
descend from there and connect with Straight Face, on to
Look Waaay Up, and I’ll Call Rusty. You pop out on Lettrari
Loop and back to the Arena via Arena Ave.
This will be somewhat challenging – and full on fun! There
will be an aid station with food and drinks at the bottom of
Strawberry Ridge
30 km: the long race is for riders only. It too will start at
the Kaslo Arena and head west on Arena Ave climbing the
Hemlock network to the gravel pit. Riders will then cross the
gravel pit to climb the short dirt road to ’N’ Zone, continuing
up Spanish Moss to Sleepy Hollow, onto the Connector,
Strawberry Ridge, Straight Face, then bounce out onto Bjerkness
Road. There is more excitement to be experienced after
this point, which will remain a secret until it is ready to be
revealed! It will include some black diamond rated sections –
not overwhelming but a bit gitchy. There will be at least one
aid station with food and drinks on this course.
5-8 km: Head scratchin’ for the short course is still under
way. The plan is to have a user friendly (ride & run) 5 – 8
km route with limited climbing. Stay tuned for more info or
monitor the website if this is the event you are interested in.

Folks should know that iDIDaRide is a race but in fact
about 2/3 of participants are just looking to have a nice ride
or run on Kaslo’s amazing trail system. Everyone is welcome
no matter what your goal is!
Registration is open, just visit www.iDIDaRide-kaslo.ca
Details will continue to be updated.
