From Bob:
Anyone interested in a ride to Mabel Lake on Sunday Aug 31?
There is a choice of starting points: Coldstream, on Kalamalka Rd, just past Kalavista Drive, leaving at 9am. Or in Lumby on Highway 6 at the main grocery store at 9:30am. Round trips would be about 120km from Coldstream or 74 km from Lumby.
It is an excellent ride, no major hills. About 1 km from Mabel Lake park the road turns to gravel, but last year it was very hard packed and easily rideable. The park has a small store with limited nutrition (pop,chips). This is the long weekend and as we are riding on Sunday, traffic should be reduced as all the campers going to Mabel Lake will likely be travelling Friday, Saturday or Monday, which is a holiday.
