Welcome to our blog!
The starting point for Sunday’s hike is the parking lot for Okanagan Mountain Park on Lakeshore Road:

The hike will be roughly 9km with some climbing in the beginning but also great views over the lake.
Meet at the Bean Scene on Dickson at 9am to carpool (25min drive to the trailhead).
Bring some water and snacks.
Check out the pictures and join us for Sunday’s hike to Angel Springs (~7.5km, no more than 2 hours)!
Meet, as always, at 9am at the Bean Scene for a caffeine fix before carpooling to the trailhead.
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!

Hello from Ottawa!
Lots of tourists on parliament hill. There is definitely an increased security presence. Beautiful views of the Rideau Canal. Now it’s on to Montreal. Hope to reach the Atlantic Ocean next week.
From September 29 on, we will be starting the regular Sunday ride at 10am!

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.
