Description
NSRide is hosting its fifth annual CAMPING TRIP!!! Once again, we have secured the group campsite at Paul Lake Provincial Park for the weekend of June 20-22. We actually have it booked until the 23th, so anyone who can take the day off on Monday are welcome to stay.
The group campsite is conveniently located at the bottom of the shuttle road for the Harper Mountain trail network. This weekend is a ton of fun and a bit different than what you normally expect from an NSRide event. We will not have “official” club rides this weekend. Instead, we will gather as like-minded mountain bikers in an awesome location and spend the weekend riding bikes.
Harper has a great climbing trail for those who want to pedal. It can also be easily shuttled with multiple vehicles. Please note, higher clearance vehicles are needed to get to the VERY top, but 90% of the mountain can be shuttled with any vehicle. The trails are great for riders of various skill levels to ride together without anyone waiting too long or feeling pressed to keep up.
All attendees of the Kamloops Kamping Trip who plan to ride bikes must be NSRide Members. At minimum, one member of each party needs to be a full member, but significant others or friends are welcome to attend the trip with a guest pass. Dogs are also welcome and don’t need a guest pass (because they are awesome).
Date: Friday, June 20 – Monday June 23
Location: Paul Lake Groupsite. Paul Lake Road, Kamloops, BC
What is included:
- 2 or 3 nights stay at Paul Lake Group Campground. Great if you can stay until Monday, but at least there is no pressure to pack up early on Sunday
- Price is $40 per tent, rooftop tent or RV, based on single occupancy. If your significant other or friends will be staying in the same tent, rooftop tent or RV as you, an additional $15 per person will apply. Please select from the options above.
- Good times with like-minded mountain bikers in an awesome corner of the province
Important Notes:
- At least one member of each party must be a full NSRide Member. Significant others or a couple friends are welcome to join a full member as long as they have (at minimum) a one week guest pass valid for the dates of the event. The guest pass is needed for insurance, so if your significant other is NOT riding bikes, no guest pass is required.
- The Paul Lake Group Campground is in a remote location with no cell reception. Cell reception is a 5-7 minute drive up the road.
- There is a hand pump on site for water, but it often has a boil water advisory. It is strongly recommended that you bring enough drinking water for the weekend.
