June 8th
Ten bikes headed to Naramata and the local pub for lunch and all was uneventful on the way down. On the return run along highway 97 they ran into high winds and surf at Antlers Beach just south of Peachland. Riders watched highway 97 being eroded away at Antler Beach. The waves were breaking over both lanes of traffic and we had time our crossing to avoid being drenched by 10 foot high waves. Concrete barriers along the side of the road had tipped over and were laying in the lake. At one point the erosion had taken the bicycle lane and may soon be taking the outside lane. Equipment was on site trying to save the road. CHBC was taping and may have video on the 5 o'clock news. Check out Castanet for videos of the wave action and erosion. |
