Awesome write up. I live in salmon arm and ride all of these trails a few times a week. If you go to the Shuswap pie company ask for Jordan (makes all the soup there), he knows most the trails in this area, and hes a good riding partner if you got noone to ride with. The former brewmaster at the Barley Station has been riding for 20 years as well, but i think they just replaced him. Chris at ridetech is an awesome mechanic as well, and super honest. Usually he can get to your bike same day if your in a hurry! Anyone thats coming to the area can send me a message on Pinkbike, i got a futon and the girlfriend makes some damn fine breakfasts. Also trying to get a Sunday shuttle going at Rubberhead, my car cant make it up the hill anymore, but if someone has a truck, i got plenty of people to drive us and plenty of gas money.
