“Why we Cycle” Kelowna Premiere

Join us at The Rotary Centre for the Arts on May 9 for a screening of the Dutch documentary film Why We Cycle that Modacity is bringing to Kelowna. Following the screening will be a panel discussion featuring local business leaders, politicians, bike advocates, and Mayor Colin Basran. Exploring the habits and needs of cyclists through a unique perspective, it is sure to be an eye-opening film for bike and car commuters alike. Tickets are $17 and can be purchased at the Rotary Centre, via telephone, or online on their website. If you want to check out the trailer before picking up your ticket follow this link!

Hope everybody is enjoying the skiing! Found this article … “food for thought”

Is it worth the risk?

Lovely party, thank you to Pam and Shaun for hosting the Beez! It was great to hang out with more time to chat and without sweaty lycra around the table 🙂

We all had a great time!

After several glasses of wine 🙂 we all agreed to move the start time for the Sunday ride to 10am, starting October 15!

See you there!

The Kelowna information session for the Okanagan Rail Trail is tomorrow:

Not as hot anymore, time to sleep in 🙂

Based on riders’ consensus, we are moving the start time for the Killer Beez Sunday ride back to 9am starting Sunday, September 3, 2017.

See you out there!

Hi Beez! I received the following note from a cyclist from the UK. If you do have a decent road bike that you can lend/rent out for just a day or two, please contact Tim – I know he would be so thankful and appreciative. I hope we can help our friends from the UK!!!

“An unusual request from me here in London, England. My brother Dave has qualified for the GB team (age group 60-65) for the world sprint duathlon championships in Penticton on 19th August. We’re trying to source a road bike locally for him. Mainly so that he does not have to bring his own from the UK and then transport it all around BC on his ensuing holiday. I offered to make contact with local cycling clubs to see if it might be possible to borrow or hire a suitable bike?

Dave needs a 56 or 58 cm road bike, carbon, preferably with carbon wheels. He’d need to pick up (Kelowna, Penticton) on Friday 18th latest, though we are in Kelowna a few days before, the race is about 45 min early on Saturday morning , and deliver it back Saturday afternoon/Sunday.

I know it’s a lot to ask, Dave and I are regular cyclists and take great care of our own road bikes, but just wondered if there is someone out there who’d let their pride and joy go for a short while.  Dave has competed in the world championships several times now- he’s not going to win it, but best placed so far has been 11th, which to be honest most of us would be pretty pleased with.

As it happens, we lived in Kelowna back in centennial year, 1967 and have wonderful childhood memories, so we will be returning for a good  look around after 50 years, and have rented a house for a week with a third brother and partners/family.”
