Burnt Bridge / Koksilah
Start location: Duncan
Ride Type: Loop
Date Ridden: May 2025
Distance: 77 km
Elevation: 1180 m
Surface: Gravel
Mosaic Land: Gated; check their website (listed on resources page) for access open/closed status.
Why do this ride: This was ridden as part of the BC Gravel Series which takes place on Mosaic land in various portions of Vancouver Island. The landscape is a mixed blessing, the lower portions like the Koksilah Valley are really nice but other parts higher up are dominated by clearcuts.
Difficulty: A good chunk of climbing and the ridges were very wind exposed. Not technical but rough stretches in fresh cut block areas.
Other notes: BC Gravel Series is nicely organized. Be sure to ride with them. The River City event (also on these pages) was my favorite.
