Chris and his friend Colin have grown up in the Okanagan and both love the outdoors. It has always been their ambition to start their own business providing guided cross-country mountain bike tours along the Kettle Valley Rail Trail to local residents and tourists. Colin is a business major at the Okanagan School of Business. He is skilled in the outdoors. Colin will be responsible for the service design of this service business and also guide. Chris has just completed a BBA degree in Tourism & Hospitality Management at the Okanagan School of Business and will be the partner of Colin who will focus on the administration, financing and accounting side and guiding. Together they plan to offer guided day tours lasting 4-6 hours along the rail trail. They will purchase 20 mountain bikes, a van to hold guests and guides and a trailer to store bikes.

Bookings will be made online through their own website. The cycling tours will offer guests a leisurely ride designed for enjoyment, an easy ride and conversation learning about history and enjoying food and snacks. They will be given the opportunity to observe local wildlife in their natural habitat as they ride along the trail. They have chosen Okanagan Bike Tours as the name of the business and want to use the domain name of "okanaganbiketours.ca", but have not yet registered these names. There is one other competitor in the area using the name of "Okanagan Bicycling Adventure Tours' and the domain name of "Okanaganbikeadventuretours.com".
