Penticton, a cycling destination

A proposal to make Penticton a premier cycling destination was heard by council at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. Colleen Pennington, the city's economic development officer, outlined community interest in making the area a cycling mecca, as well as what's in it for local residents. "When we talk about biking opportunities, we clearly have a lot of resources, whether it's terrain or races," she said. "What's clearly missing is the marketing piece."


She further discussed world renowned trails already in existence including the Waterfront Trail In Ontario,  La Route Verte in Quebec, the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton and existing South Okanagan bike businesses. Read more.
