Riding in Vernon is legit awesome. Kal Lake has great trails but Ellison/Predator has really stepped it up in the last few years.

Ellison is pretty tame and on the XC side of things as a fyi.... Nobles for the really good stuff.

@jaydawg69: noble if you're shuttling. Those who prefer to climb singletrack to fun stuff will prefer Kal Lake.

@gbeaks33: actually a nice climb up. Easier than the climbing trail at Kal and to better trails.

We've come a long way. Golf resorts building us rad trails. Last season I was on a group ride and overheard a conversation about investments stock portfolios and retirement savings plan. Things have changed

How about adding the trail to Trailforks?

Yes let’s add it to trailforks so every noob and his cousin can trash it in the first 2 months.
Trailforks has done more to damage trails than all the ebikes in the world.
No trail needs to be posted within the first 5yrs. If you can’t find the goods maybe your not ready yet.

I should be able to see those trails from my house. Unfortunately it's from the other side of Lake Okanagan. I'm at Killiney Beach. Need a boat!!!!

If you dont drive a luxury car, Predator wont let you past the gate. Beaters and budget cars need to access through the provincial park with the other 99%

if you look at their house that rs4 is a rather humble form of transportation

@shr3d: Its the okanagan lifestyle bro. Seriously, try and find a "modest" house in this area that isn't a crack den.

@cmcrawfo: bringing the truth.

But props due to Predator for getting on board with the hoped-for mtb gravy train

@cmcrawfo: I was in BC last year living out of a 40 year old truck camper. Got more than a few funny looks when I got lost trying to finding the trail head and ended up at the valet parking for Predator ridge which was full of cars costing more than your average house.

@cmcrawfo: Booo! Not true at all. Predator is open to all and happy to see mountain bikers with beat up tacomas at the club house for apres. They are stoked on mountain biking and most mountain bikers I know are feeling lucky to have these trails in our community. Positive internet vibes always help to spawn new trails!

@markeed: Good to see ya online mark. Did you miss the winky face? I know sarcasm is hard to read when you are cruising in the wake boat. Anyway, gotta get back to my mansion. See ya around.
