The Loop – Duffy Lake Loop. Almost all riding and driving groups will have one. A nearby, basic circuit containing some interesting roads that take you back to the starting point. For us, there is only one “Loop”.
The Loop is made up of distinct stages, with associated risks. Going clockwise:
- Sea to Sky – Vancouver to Pemberton (99) – Police, traffic, rain
- Forest – Pemberton to Lilloet (99) – wet bridges, bears, rough roads
- Desert – Lilloet to Boston Bar/Hope (12) – fallen rocks, cows, heat
- Boring – Hope to Vancouver (1) – Traffic, police
This route is notorious essentially for the May Long Curse. Starting with a painful 12 hour, 5pm to 5am run in 2005 with a dented rim and growing dollar value year after year until it consumed a Lexus, the Loop is no longer done for May Long Weekend.

Jason,
Nice meeting you up on Cadillac Mountain. Hope the rest of the ride goes well and the Multi is good to you. Wish I was riding with you.
If you ever want to confer on roads in Oregon, Idaho, or Northern CA, I may have some new info for you. If you pass through Maine on the way back west, please stop by Scarborough. Also, there is a good Ducati shop close by.

Thanks Pete. I don’t think I’ll come back through Maine, although Vermont and New York is under consideration. Hopefully I won’t need any more Ducati shops! — But I’ll keep that in mind.
