Around the Lake – Part 2

Posted on by Smoke

Had another long adventure today.  I wanted to try hooking up some of the local zones via the many kilometers of quad trails out there.  It sort of worked…

You can just see Big White in the background of that last shot.  I was just in the snowline on this ride.  Really, I don’t think this will be part of the final route.  It was cool, but there was substantial bushwhacking in some heavy terrain that likely won’t see a trail for a very long time. 

When I finally broke through, the singletrack was pretty sweet.

Some stats for you…

Around the Lake – Part 1

Posted on by Smoke

Here’s a fun idea.  An off road circuit around Okanagan Lake.  For this year, I’m trying to work out the kinks in the southern half of the lake.  That should keep me busy for quite a while.

I’ve got the basic route figured out, but there’s a lot of blank areas on the map to fill in.  I got the first part of the route ridden this past weekend.  Check out these views from the top.

Too bad there’s very little singletrack.  It was mainly old road and quad trail, but there’s some cool potential.  With so much hillside, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that there’s some singletrack in there someplace.

More research is needed, but with our new place in Peachland, I’m sure that we’ll be able to figure out something.  Watch for more updates on this epic in the making throughout the summer.
