Hi,
For those of you who missed the first Green Mountain Ride (or even those who made it), there will be another one happening on July 23. Some of us will be away for the weekend but there will be a great group of people going on this one. As always, it’s about 90 km, bring plenty food and fluids, money to replenish at Twin Lakes Golf Course and lunch afterwards, and sunscreen.
Meet as usual at 8am at Starbucks on the Westside (by Zellers) to carpool; start at 9am from Skaha Parking Lot.
Great ride! Thanks to all who came with us (13 altogether)!
Our first Green Mountain Ride will be Saturday, June 25. As you know, this ride has been a favorite for many years now! It is a challenging 90km ride, lots of hills but also wonderful scenery.
Meet at 8am at the “old” Starbucks (across from Zellers) in West Kelowna, or at 9am at the Skaha Lake parking lot in Penticton. Bring plenty of fluids and food; the first and only stop that has food is the golf course at Twin Lakes (about 47km or 2hrs into the ride).
Watch this space for a cancellation due to weather – This will be posted no later than 6am on the day of the ride.
Update: A group of 18 riders had a wonderful ride yesterday! Beautiful sunshine, no mishaps, lots of smiles. Photos here. Click here for a download of the GPS.
Becoming an ANNUAL EVENT:
The very popular Armstrong – Enderby – Armstrong Backroads Bike Ride
Update: 17 riders showed up. 5 riders left without riding pointing at the clouds … and missed a good ride! After a few initial sprinkles, we stayed dry and followed the sun all day! 3 riders did a shorter loop (for various reasons) and the rest enjoyed the full ride, even racing a paceline at 40+ clicks down to Grinrod.
