Vernon Bike Camp Pictures

The first ETS bike camp went off without a hitch, beautiful weather, spectacular riding and great company made for a highly enjoyable 4 days. The group covered around 400km of riding including the daunting Ironman Canada course. A camp survey is in the works and will be out soon; as we are looking forward to input to kick it up a notch for next year.
