Long before the Okanagan Valley became famous for its mass endurance events, local bicyclists were tackling Summerland’s challenging terrain. Unlike today’s smooth, flat, and non-slippery road surfaces, Summerland’s early roads consisted of only sand and gravel--making hill climbs particularly difficult. This photo (circa likely mid-to-late 1920s) was taken on the road up historic Zimmerman’s Gulch, the original road linking Trout Creek to Giant’s Head Road.
