What is a "Thread Drift"???

[Wahine]

Wahine - have you ridden south of Osoyoos, up Anarchist?

Nope. Is that east from Osoyoos on hwy #3 or south towards the border? I don't think you're referring hwy 97 right. 97 is pretty flat towards Omak Washington, if I remember rightly.

If east on 3, that would be a heck of a climb.

Yeah, it's East on Hwy #3 heading towards Rock Creek. You cross the bridge in downtown Osoyoos and then start climbing. It's supposed to be one of the longest climbs in Canada. (Not sure of that stat..) We camp in Osoyoos in the summer and the boys always do the ride from the campsite to the first lookout. It's 5km thru town and then a 9km climb. I finally tried it last year and managed the whole thing without stopping. (I was still a fairly new rider).

It takes most people about 4 hours to get right the the summit. I can't even imagine doing that at this point. Well not without stopping for breaks now and then...

I believe it. I've driven down it many times. It's a huge hill complete with switchbacks. Good on ya for doing it KG.
