Show 30: Kettle Valley Rail Trail
Mike Kearsley is our guest this week, talking to us about a trip on British Columbia’s Kettle Valley Railway with his wife, daughter and family dog.
We also touch on a new and exciting bike wheel from MIT and my favourite bike blog of the week. Listen in and start planning next year’s tour as you’re cooking the Christmas turkey.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Such a shame that the trail isn’t policed… in summer it is totally mayhem here with cars, ATV’s and motorcycles (!) all over the KVR-trail. Consequently the trail is totally ruined (one big sand pit) and not really worth cycling any more… Tried doing the trail in summer 2008, but went off it and on to forest service roads after Penticton (coming from the west).
