This year's segment of the Kettle Valley Railway bicycle tour extended from Myra Canyon, in the hills overlooking Kelowna, to Midway.

We arranged for a local adventure company to shuttle us and our bikes to Myra Canyon from Midway.

| Existing damage to Trestle #3 from rock slide. |
Being trestle-junkies we cycled over the close-by trestles of the canyon before starting on our chosen trail, which was in the opposite direction. Also, we wanted to see first-hand the extent of the damage to Trestle #3 from a boulder striking one of the supports. To a layman's eye it still looks crossable, but I'd not try it. If an engineer deems it a no-go zone, that's all the warning I need. Admittedly I ride an off-road bicycle, but I've no desire to careen down a cliff-side if another timber should snap mid-span due to the weight of self and conveyance.
