Tons of great riding around there, at least once a year a bunch of us head up to Kelowna. What could be a 3 1/2 hour trip from Vancouver usually takes us about 10 with our route..... enjoy.

We live about an hour north of KTown and rode through there this weekend en route to Manning Park (45 minutes west of Princeton On Hwy 3). It reminded me why I'm so glad to be where I'm at. All that great riding the Okanagan has to offer, and none of the KTown summer traffic if you choose to avoid it. It was a plenty hot ride, but the bike performed as flawlessly as MJ's. I'm glad you guys and gals had a great trip to our neck of the woods.

it is so beautiful in Canada! and that was just one tiny piece of it, what a huge vast country...97C at 120 KMH was fun, kept thinking a Grizzly or Moose would run out in front of me!!!

Yeah,,, lots of wild life around. On Hwy 5 (Coquihalla) and 97C, they've installed wildlife fences to help keep them off the roads. No guarantee, but they help. There are one-way gates along the way so that if any get through, they can get back out. You may have noticed there is also a wildlife overpass on 97C towards Peachland. There are lots of those on Hwy 1 through the National Parks.
