I think that we all sometimes tend to take our wonderful scenery for granted – I know we did when we lived in Wales – Perhaps this is why I have always needed to stop while out riding, and take a moment!! -Mike took this pic of me last year up above the City of Vernon on a very wet day! – It really is a fantastic shot of the Valley, showing both Kalamalka and Okanagan Lakes. – Did you know that Kalamalka is the Native Indian name for “Lake of many Colors”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many years ago we held a lot of Trials up on Vernon Mountain and I was able to show Mike a few spots on this ride – although a lot has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
