KAMLOOPS ALL WHEEL PUMP TRACK

PROJECT OVERVIEW
  • The Kamloops All Wheels Pump Track Project is a project to develop three new pump tracks within the Kamloops Bike Ranch facility. This project is led by the Kamloops Sports Council in partnership with the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) and Tourism Kamloops.  The project is primarily funded by the Province of B.C.’s Destination Development Fund with financial contributions from the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) and Tourism Kamloops. The City of Kamloops and several local businesses and community groups supported the project.

    The project is located within the Kamloops Bike Ranch at 1105 Highland Rd, Kamloops, BC V2E 0A8. The Kamloops Bike Ranch “The Ranch ”, is a world-renowned, free to use, mountain bike trail network is approximately 26 hectares.
  • The Kamloops All Wheels Pump Track facility will open on July 4th at 5:30pm to the public, with three different pump tracks. (Click links to see the track layouts and info)
  • What is a pump track?
    • A pump track is a continuous loop of ‘berms’(banked corners), rollers (humps), and jumps, where riders use an up and down ‘pumping’ motion to propel themselves forward around the track instead of pedaling or pushing.  Pump tracks are often used to build skills in a lower risk, more progressive environment, there are also competitive events for this discipline. Pump tracks are gaining popularity due to their low maintenance, consistency and of course, fun!

  • LOCATION:

 

      • The project is located within the Kamloops Bike Ranch facility, at 1105 Highland Rd, Kamloops, BC V2E 0A8, at the “top” of the facility.

        The facility is open from one hour after sunrise to one hour before sunset during spring, summer and fall.
