Episode 150: David Bone: 89 FKTs, all in the UK!

Category
Person-Person

89 FKTs is a lot!  And 51 of them have been in 2021, including sometimes 2 in one day.  I presume this is intentional?

"I used to race more, but the pandemic caused me to focus on where I live.  And we have a huge history here - some of these routes go back hundreds of years."

"It's always about the journey, not the goal.  But FKTs are great - this has provided the structure for me to learn and explore in my own surroundings."

Description

The route starts at the end of the parking lot of Myra Canyon Parking lot (near Kelowna) where the bike rentals are off of Myra Forest Service Road. The actual parking lot is part of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) and at the end of the parking lot is where the trail starts with a km post marking of 0km. The route is very flat for the first 37km to Chute Lake as it is the KVR trail the entire way, going over trestles and through tunnels. After Chute Lake the trail has a slight downhill grade the rest of the way and finishes at the 0km marker in Penticton on Vancouver Place.
