We will ride the KVR rail trail Myra Canyon to Penticton 80 km ( the same route as my event the Okanagan Trestles Tour) www.okanagantrestlestour.com it is an incredible experience . www.okanagantrestlestour.com/the-route

We will leave Salmon Arm at 7:00am (meet place to be decided for car pooling)

It is a 2 hour drive to Myra Canyon from Salmon arm - google maps Myra Canyon Bike rentals for location ( take Myra Canyon Forest Service road - not June Springs road to Myra Canyon.

We will ride 9:30am to 3:30pm ( 6 hours with a 1 hour stop for lunch at Chute Lake) 5 hours ride time.

Then swim at Penticton 3:30- 4:30pm

Home by 7:30pm.

It will be a big day.

Bring lots of food, sport drink, etc. We will organize transportation the week leading into the ride.

The plan I am thinking at this point:

We drive from Salmon Arm to Myra Canyon 7:00am to 9:15am ready to ride at 9:30am - make sure your bike is in good condition.

Then drivers of those vehicles drive to Chute Lake (half way point and meet us for lunch) 12:00pm - 1:00pm there are two drive options depending on vehicles - the easiest is to drive to Penticton then to Naramata then to Chute Lake. That drive will take 2 hours as you have to drive around the lake. And it will take the riders 2.5 hours to get to Chute Lake so the timing should work out well.

Then after lunch the drivers go to Little Tunnel which is 30 minute drive from Chute Lake on your way back to Penticton. Check out little tunnel wait for the riders, it is a cool place to hang out and if there are any bike issues there is a ride back from them. Then drivers go to Rotary Park on lakeshore drive in Penticton and wait for the riders to arrive and go for a swim.
