The 40 km route starts at Chute Lake to Penticton with a gentle decline the entire way.
There will be five rest stops offering snacks and drinks. Mechanical support at the start, roaming on route and at Chute Lake. First Aid is provided by the Canadian Ski Patrol. As cyclists arrive in Penticton, they’ll be greeted by live music, a BBQ, wine, beer and cider.
