I rode the summerland trails a few years ago, they are pretty fun, not as good as the stuff we have here IMO. they are more like moto trails with trials sections but still well worth the trip.

non bike vacation for me next week, I had a wicked ride a vedder last night on the gasgas, little dusty and loose still but the recent rain helped alot

Hit up kelowna Vernon area last week.

Rode around postil which was pretty cool. There is a mix of mtb trails with some moto areas…..and lots of guns! Trip down mtb memory lane there for sure.

Also rode with Outlaw Dave in Vernon on Friday. As with all the old school trials guys he kills it at the age of 70 something. He had a more traditional take on riding and took me thru the paces of his course. We road about 10 different sections counting dabs! ha. Was good fun….

The new shop is a lot cozier than the old one. I will have the room to work, but it is going to take some time to organize things. Until then, I may have to do a road trip to north van if apt needs a hand with his bike.
