Here is a great review of some options …
And if you’re looking for some amazing Century rides (in the US), consider this list …
Head south for one of these exciting Century rides …
There are many to choose from but this list presents a few highlights!
New Sunday ride start time – and earlier Saturday option
Starting July 12, we will be leaving the Bean Scene on Dickson at 8am for the regular Sunday ride. We will keep it at this earlier start time until after the hot season! (Note: Scott and maybe some others can’t make 8am and will still start at 9am … So if 8am doesn’t work for you either, there will likely be some others starting at 9am).
Also, there will be an option to go for an earlier ride on Saturdays, leaving 8am from Kelowna Cycle (starting July 11). The regular KC ride will still leave at 9:15am.
Reminder of safety rules: Both rides are no-drop rides with regular stops to catch up. On both rides, participants are expected to ride single file only and not pass on the right.

The West Kelowna ride on Fridays now starts at 8am! (from July 10)

Update Green Mountain Ride June 28
It will be a great ride! Please remember the following:
To avoid the heat, we have to leave right on time at 8am from Skaha parking lot (by the tennis courts). That means PLEASE arrive early enough to have time to get ready BEFORE 8am (changing, washroom etc).
We will manage carpooling for single drivers at Starbucks in West Kelowna but have to leave there no later than 7am. If you need a coffee or can offer somebody a ride, please make sure to arrive at 6:45am.
And don’t forget drinks and food, as well as sunscreen. The temps should be pleasant during the ride (approx 8am to 12pm). We will stop at Twin Lakes to refill water/Gatorade but then keep moving.
See you tomorrow!! Bring a towel so we can jump into the lake afterwards!
Special Ride: Green Mountain on Sunday June 28
Better late than never: The ever-popular Green Mountain Ride !
We will meet at Skaha Lake parking lot in Penticton on Sunday morning, ready to start cycling at 8am (early start due to the heat later in the day). We will also be at Starbucks in West Kelowna (Louie Drive) at 7am where single drivers can team up to carpool to Penticton (let’s go green).
Bring food and drinks; refill opportunities are at Twin Lakes Golf Course and in OK Falls. The ride is about 90km long and very scenic.
Long ride in Vancouver
If you happen to be in Vancouver next weekend, or have time to go there for a great ride, consider this one: The Bicicletta Triple Crown Ride! Information and registration here … 125km, three hills, 3000m gain!
The store also has other rides coming up, such as the Mount Baker climb …
