“The Puddle” is a blue-collar town, but with industry slowly declining the local powers-that-be joined forces with passionate locals to develop and stimulate the local economy through mountain bike tourism. The Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium has done an outstanding job of promoting cycling, expanding the trail network, and encouraging riders of all abilities to visit. In our experience, Williams Lake locals are among the friendliest out there – they flat out love to ride and are more than willing to spread the joy. With over 10,000 residents, the town has all the amenities that one would expect, with plenty of accommodation, restaurant, and happy hour options. Coordinating with the Williams Lake Stampede is definitely a good call even though the town gets busy. It is Cariboo culture at its finest and an absolute blast.
