Wednesday Rides are starting this week šŸš“šŸ»

With enough daylight to allow cycling late afternoon, we are now starting one of our weekly favourites: the Wednesday ride aka JOYCE’s Ride! Until Joyce is fully recovered, we will have to keep this going without her but in the meantime, meet at 5pm in front of Kelowna Cycle on Pandosy Street.

The ride is usually 35km and will get us back to the coffee shop around 6:40pm or so! Social, fun ride, nobody gets dropped. It really is all about the coffee (tea, water etc.) after šŸ˜

The route was scouted and has some slight modifications right now, due to ongoing construction in East Kelowna. See picture!

For now, the Sunday rides from the Bean Scene will be starting at 10am. As long as the weather is good, meet there and join the group! No-drop, starting with lower mileage, routes change every week.

Last hike – April 7

Last Sunday’s hike was a lot of fun so I hope all of you can make it out on Sunday April 7 for our last hike before getting on the bikes …

As per usual, we will meet at 9am at the Bean Scene for a nourishing coffee before carpooling to the trailhead.

We will try one of the newer hikes in Kelowna, the Lebanon Park. It is located 5320 Lakeshore Road, with a new parking lot on the east side of the road (we cycle by there all the time).
