Through support and partnership with the Kamloops Bike Riders Association (KBRA), the City of Kamloops' Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department has completed Phase 1 of the Kamloops Bike Park, dubbed "The Kamloops Bike Ranch". The KBRA fund 50 per cent of the capital construction costs and form a vital link between the sport and the facility.

The Kamloops Bike Ranch is a 26 hectare area located in the terraced and gullied silt bluffs of pine trees, sage brush, and open grasslands between Valleyview and Juniper Ridge neighbourhoods. The initial site has an elevation change of 132 m over its 1.1 km length.

Phase 1 features a fast-flowing, A-line style downhill trail boasting a multitude of tables and "berms" rated for the expert rider; a jump park for expert and intermediate riders; and a BMX track to Canadian Cycling Association standards. Phase 2 will create more diverse bike park features including a trials area, cross-country trails, biker cross track, and a kid's park.

Byron McCorkell, City of Kamloops parks, recreation, and cultural services director says, "The construction of the Kamloops Bike Ranch will provide a world-class mountain bike facility for residents and visitors, promote fitness and appreciation of the natural environment, and build on the City of Kamloops profile as the Tournament Capital of Canada."

Enjoy your ride.
