A lot of visitors from North America, Europe and Asia do this ride either on their own or as part of an organized ride. Google KVR and you will find lots of info. It makes for a fantastic trip for either a weekend or a couple of weeks, depending on how much time you have.
Great ride from Kelowna to Naramata for some wine tasting!! Very flat and easy riding.
| ThankOn our return trip from Penticton, BC to Myra Canyon, Kelowna, BC, it was the next day and our legs were tired from the day before. Having said that, we did manage to do the bulk of the ride. When we left Penticton, we had planned on just getting as far as Okanogan Mountain Park and ride there. However we ended up taking the Chute Lake Road between the two KVR hook-ups, as I wanted to cut off some pedaling mileage. My husband managed to keep pedaling his bike up the very touch grade on the gravel road, I had to push my bike and it was brutal. We did cut off almost an hour by doing this though.
We ate once again at Chute Lake and then carried on. The weather for the entire trip was way better, sun and moments of cloud which helped to keep us cool.
The ride was well worth it, as the views we didn't see the day before due to the rain, we could see across the valley at the trestles.
It is a trip well worth doing.
| ThankWe did this in both directions over two days, from Myra Canyon, Kelowna, BC to Penticton, BC return. It was raining when we were dropped off at Myra Canyon. That didn't slow us down at all, we were prepared for that.
The views thru Myra Bellvue Park were hindered, at times, by the weather but it was still well worth the ride. It is a fairly easy ride but has a slight grade on a few parts leading to Chute Lake. We ate lunch at the "resort" there. It was good. The building interior is filled with antiques of the period when the Kettle Valley Railroad was built (1913 ).
After Chute Lake it is a slight downhill all the way down to Penticton. It rained on us for a great portion of this segment, but we still took the time to check out most of the Rock Ovens in Rock Oven Park. These ovens were made and used by the workers back when the railroad was being built.
The ride ends going thru the orchards and vineyards of Penticton.
| ThankGreat. Xc take ur girlfriend she will love the view.
