After some recent comments on the Smoke Room, I realized it’s high time someone went and did something about the sad state of affairs down on the Peat Bog. So instead of trying to rally the troops I just strapped on the 100 lb pack and went down and buffed out the old Bog by myself.
It’s back to stock original if you’re around Penticton. In the process, I ran into some old TOPSOG riders that were building some new eyesores near the bottom. Here’s a shot of Troy on the old Emergency Exit log:
This would be the new Sundowner Drop they built.
If flat landings, blind exits, and ugly woodwork are your thing, welcome to the Old School!
Thank you! I rode it a year ago and it was already in pretty poor shape back then. Glad to hear that it’s getting some attention again…beautiful area.
I’ve been doing some solo work on Summerland’s Mount Conkle this spring. Finally got one decent route with some simple, fun singletrack top to bottom, including an excellent ridge-line trail at the top.
