Hiya… I'm most likely to be heading to Kelowna around 22nd 23rd Sep…
Is there anybody out there willing to show me a few trails, possibly offer shuttle runs?
I will gladly offer fuel funds to anyone helping me out

Cheers
Russ

I'm probably going to be in Kelowna over the long weekend(Oct 7, 8, 9). Would like to ride one day, and spend the others with family. If anyone wants to hook up, my jeep can hold 4-bikes, and I'm not stingy when it comes to buying beer.

I'm also keen on doing night runs so anyone with lights gets even more beer:D

Like I said Rusty, K-Town is a tricky place to ride without a motor. Gillard and Powers are shuttle hills.
If I were you I'd check the weather and go to Rossland/Nelson. You can ride out of your door, all the climbs are rideable, and the place is very chilled. You can survive without a car no problem.
Aternatively head back to NV, and hook up with us again, there's always Sunshine Coast/Squamish/Sumas/Vedder to hit.
We may well end up at Kamloops or Kelowna over Thanksgiving too. Keep in touch.

I'll be up on the long weekend, I'll be solo, so I'd love to get shown around, I'll be staying in Peachland, but I'll hit up Kelowna, Penticton, Westbank, or Kelowna.

E-mail me with contact info or trail info etc…
