We hope you can join us tomorrow for the Baldy hike. Remember to set back your clocks or you’ll be waiting a while 😉
After a wonderful potluck at Pam and Shaun’s house, we enjoyed the first Beez hike of the fall season in the sunshine up Spion Kop! We always make the best of the gap between cycling and skiing!

The plans for our 4 November hikes are as follows:
Every November Sunday:
Meet at Bean Scene – Dickson at 9am for coffee. All hikes start at 10am. Meet us there if it makes no sense to drive to the coffee shop first (e.g. West Kelowna). We always try to carpool from the coffee shop.
The hikes happen in ALL weather conditions 🙂 (i.e. bring a warm jacket, gloves, a hat if it’s cold or wet!).
Schedule:
November 3: Mel’s Mt Baldy Hike (meet here)
November 10: Keith’s Angel Springs Hike (meet here)
November 17: TBD – contact me with suggestions …
November 24: Shaun’s Rose Valley Hike (meet here)
The tradition continues:
Our end-of-season party will be hosted, yet again, by Pam and Shaun!
On October 25, starting at 6pm, we will be meeting at the Horan’s at 6-2155 Horizon Drive in West Kelowna. A great chance to socialize and see everybody without lycra!
At the gate, press 6 on the key pad so we can let you in!
BYOB and food item of your choice from the following list:

For the 4 Sundays in November (3/10/17/24) we are again planning hikes in the Kelowna area. Watch the blog for details!
From next Friday (Oct 11) we will start the West Kelowna Friday ride at 10am. That might make it a little warmer!
See you on the ride …
Michael.

Seems like the September Sundays are cursed 🙂
Considering the weather forecast, we are moving the special ride to Saturday (Sept 21) as it should be a sunny and warm day, compared to Sunday.
We decided to do the Armstrong ride instead of Green Mountain as it is lower, has shortcut options if needed and seemed to be very popular, based on your feedback. We want the special rides to be safe excursions that everybody enjoys!
So here are the details for Saturday:
Armstrong Classic on September 21th
We will meet at 8:45am at the Memorial Park in Armstrong (where the Century Ride starts); you should be ready to start cycling by 9:00am. Please try to car pool to Armstrong with other cyclists if you can – meet at 7:30am at the Bean Scene on Dickson to catch or offer a ride.
The park washrooms will be open in Armstrong. Remember to bring enough food and drinks for the ride. We are planning on doing the 90km route from Armstrong via Grindrod and Enderby back to Armstrong (980m elevation gain). There will be a resupply at Farmer John’s in Grindrod (at 63km); they have drinks, snacks, ice cream etc. After the ride we can decide if we want to go for lunch somewhere.
Watch this blog for a last update on September 21th at 6am to confirm (or cancel if we really have to) the ride, based on weather. But the forecast looks good!
If the weather is decent on Sunday morning at 9am, we will meet for the regular Sunday ride at the Bean Scene and adjust length if necessary, depending on the forecast.
