It’s time to do one of our favourite group rides – the Armstrong / Enderby Ride.   Unlike the Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride, the Armstrong / Enderby Ride proceeds along scenic, country roads on the East side of Hwy 97 from Armstrong to Enderby and Grindrod where we stop at Farmer John’s for an ice cream break before climbing Grandview Bench Hill.  We then return to Armstrong via Deep Creek Road.  The route is approximately 77 km in length with about 840 m of climbing.

The Armstrong / Enderby Group Ride will be held on Sunday, July 7th and will start at 9 AM sharp from Memorial Park in Armstrong.  Carpooling will be available  from the Leckie Road parking lot of Mission Creek Park between 7:30 AM to 7:45 AM.  The ride will include a support vehicle.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Keep August 15th available for a Special Killer Beez Event.  Details to be revealed in due course.
