Michael is wondering if anybody is interested in a longer ride on Sunday, May 13? Like around the Lake, about 145K. They would start at 08:00am at Westside Rd. and 97. Please contact Michael if you’re interested: malkowsky@shaw.ca
Forecast is good, dry and sunny. The downhill will be a bit cooler so bring an extra layer. See you at Skaha at 9!
We will be doing one of our favorites, the Green Mountain ride, this coming Saturday, May 5, leaving from Skaha Lake parking lot in Penticton at 9am. We will also meet at Starbucks in West Kelowna (the new one on Louie Drive in Governor’s Market) at 8am to carpool to Penticton. The ride is about 90km long.
This won’t be a “race”, just a chance to get some more distance in on quiet and scenic roads.
Please bring food, drinks and an extra layer for the downhill from Apex. Refuelling stop will be at Twin Lakes Golf course.
The weather forecast looks good but we will make the final “Go/No Go” decision at 6:30am on Saturday morning and post the final word to the blog at http://kelownakillerbeez.com/
Hope to see you there!
This coming Friday, May 4, the Westsiders are taking their weekly ride to Summerland. If you would like to join them for a 55-60km ride, please meet at Starbucks (the new West Kelowna one in Governor’s Market, 2231 Louie Drive) at 9am to carpool. If you are up for even more distance, meet at 7:40am at Starbucks to cycle to Summerland (40km one way). Any questions, contact Michael at malkowsky@shaw.ca
Just a reminder that the Beez ride on Sundays will be starting at 9am from now on! Meet at the Bean Scene downtown.
A few good tips (or reminders for the more experienced rider) on how to control your bike. Any comments?
The first “real” Beez ride of the season, with lots of new and familiar faces, was a lot of fun! Looks like summer is here and we can start planning the cycling season.
Next Sunday, April 29, will be the last ride with a start time of 10am. Starting May 6, we will be leaving the Bean Scene downtown at 9am.
Please also remember the other rides around town: The social/easy Wednesday ride (about 90min, from Good Earth coffee shop, leave at 5pm); Kelowna Cycle’s Saturday Panini Ride (9:15am from their Sutherland location) and the Westside ride (Fridays, 10am, from the new Starbucks; 9am starting May).
Check this out for “to the point” messages about how dangerous it is to ride your bike!
April 15: Should be about 10-11 degrees by 10am today so join us for the Beez ride, leaving from the Bean Scene downtown at 10am.
