Hello!

The weather is looking good with the snow melting up high, M/C and ATV season is now here!!
RTR Performance is shifting from snow and the boating season is also just ahead.

This month I’m going to discuss the motocross track out at Whispering Pines and the offroad riding areas around Kamloops.

Lets start with OFF ROAD RIDING: The areas are unbelievable and within minutes from downtown Kamloops. The Inks Lake/Greenstone area is my favorite place to ride. The trails are numerous and go from very challenging single track to higher speed, flowing wider trails that are also ATV friendly…..this area really has it all.

With volunteers in the GKMA (Greater Kamloops Motorcycle Association) and the GKAA (Greater Kamloops ATV Association) like Ken McClelland, Kent Antoniak, Stu Patton, Dennis Rombough, and Andrew Hill helping to keep this area open and maintained, this is a no brainer….join the club, support the areas, and show our organization in numbers!  This is truly an awesome riding area and we are very lucky to have it. If you have never been there, just head 5 to 10 min up the Coquihalla Hwy and take the Inks Lake Exit 355 to your right, turn left at stop sign and follow road until you cross the cattle guard and you can find a spot to unload and explore.

You can purchase GKMA and GKAA club memberships at your favorite dealer in Kamloops (which I hope is RTR Performance)

Now to the Whispering Pines MX Track: This place is another jewel for the motorcyclists in our area. It is located 35 min down Westsyde Road, just past the community of Black Pines. I talk to so many people that would like to try riding the track but they are nervous like they’ll be in the way or they’ll crash and burn off a huge jump. Well, all I have to say to you is, if you have thought about it….go try it! A 5 year old on a 50cc mini bike can ride this track. It is very safe and you do not have to have your wheels leave the ground if you don’t want to. With volunteers like Dan Coombs, Lee Patjas, Darryl Patjat, Dennis Dube, Jason Labby, Willie Watchel, Jim Watchel and many more organizing and maintaining this track, it is worth trying out. We are fortunate enough to have a full sprinkler system for the track, washrooms with showers, and camping in the grass fields with plenty of room for the biggest of motorhomes………right next to the North Thompson River!
Come pick up your track pass here at RTR Performance.

This track will once again be holding the Canadian Pro National Motocross races on June 5th and 6th.  The track will be tweaked and made more difficult the week prior. If you have never been to a Pro National and you remotely like motorcycles, you have to go check it out! It is like a Nascar race on the dirt. There are factory semi trucks and trailers with some of the fastest riders from all over the world competing. To name a few countries: USA, South Africa, Hungary, and from all over Canada.
