Description: crosstrainingenduro.com tractionerag.com Kamloops dirt riding, arguably some of Canada's best dirt riding. And certainly the widest variety. Alpine regions. Semi arid scrubland. Lush forests. Mountains. Plains. And the Traction eRag guys have based themselves in this enduro heartland. The BC dirt riding guys have been cutting new tracks on their property that will link up with the existing network. Today we are riding a new track for the first time. The guys have cut a new Kamloops enduro track that adds to the incredible network of single track. The only problem is we aren't sure if we can ride this bit of Kamloops dirt riding. Matt is up first. The problem? Slippery rocks, then up a steep section with angled tree roots, then a tight turn to the left. Matt plays it safe and ghosts the bike up. I'm next. And I'm worried. Very easy to stall this cross country racer with its high first gear. I can picture stalling and falling backwards onto that log or the rocks. My gonads are much smaller than Matt's. I opt for the slow way. There's virtually no run up. It's all slippery. And the rear wheel is bound to slip out on the off camber. Damn. It looked so easy when we walked it earlier. Oh well, time to just push and shove. So much for all my hard enduro techniques and Kamloops dirt riding. Next it's Dallas. This ex-professional basket ball player is the only guy I know who can make a Husaberg look small. Dallas has the same dodgy knees problem as me so I'm sure he'll take the safer option too. Interesting, he's starting in the water for extra run up. A good idea he gets further up than I do. We are cutting all these Kamloops enduro tracks on the Traction eRag property for future events. Then they will link up with existing tracks beyond the property boundaries. Sections like this BC dirt riding will just be for the advanced riders, most tracks are more suited for beginner to intermediate riders. A big shout out to the Greater Kamloops Motorcycle Association. They maintain a huge network of trails and do the hard yards needed to keep trails open and stay on good terms with the public and relevant government departments. They organise dual sport riding and enduro racing events. If you ever visit Kamloops it's worth becoming a member for Kamloops dirt riding. Canadians do an amazing job with protecting their riding areas by forming clubs and working with the authorities to ensure the future of their sport. It makes me quite embarrassed about the Australian scene where we love to complain but no one is actually willing to lift a finger when it comes to action that might keep our trails open. Enough talking about Kamloops enduro! I'll just show you snippets from all of our riding in the greater Kamloops area. Enjoy.
