Our 2nd annual RPR PeachDuro took place on August 13th. This year we saw a slight reduction in the number of racers who took part. That said, we still had over 80 racers hit the Three Blind Mice trail Network in an effort to claim the title and hoist the new, coveted Trophies made by James Spain here in Penticton. If you have not had the chance to see this beauty, stop by the shop and feast your eyes!
Race day brought perfect Okanagan summer temps and clear skies. The weather gods were truly on our side this year. The trails were exactly as one could expect in the Okanagan in August. Dry, dusty, fast and loose. Perfection.
This years event saw our E-bike category racer numbers more than double as we had 8 people take part. Did you know that the PeachDuro is the ONLY enduro style race event in B.C. that welcomes E-bikes to take part? Got an E-bike and want to race it for fun? Make sure you come join us for next years event!
Although we saw plenty of riders come from around B.C. and even Alberta, this years event was dominated by the locals. Knowing the trails and being used to riding in the hot, dry conditions really paid off. Congrats to all of this years winners!
Freedom Bike Shop would like to thank all of our incredible sponsors who helped to make this years RPR PeachDuro such a MASSIVE success.

The energy, the delicious peach-inspired treats, and the fantastic performances really made it a memorable event. It reminded me of the vibrant atmosphere in Amsterdam Nightlife - always buzzing with excitement and full of energy. If you ever get the chance, definitely explore the nightlife scene in Amsterdam. Whether you like chilled out bars or lively travel, there's something for everyone!
The PeachDuro event sounds like such an incredible experience—challenging rides, beautiful scenery, and a great sense of community! It’s amazing how activities like this not only push you physically but also leave you feeling accomplished. After intense outdoor events, I always make time for self-care, especially to restore my skin from sun exposure and sweat. Treatments like a chemical peel Vancouver are a fantastic way to rejuvenate and maintain healthy, glowing skin. Just as cycling boosts your physical health, proper skincare enhances your confidence and well-being. Balancing outdoor adventures with self-care makes life even more fulfilling!
