Start of group rides …
After another great hike on Sunday, we are now officially starting the cycling season!
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.
We will announce when the Wednesday (Mission) and Friday rides (West Kelowna) are ready to go!
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).

Bike or hike!
I have been told that some Beez will be meeting on Sunday at 10am at the Bean Scene to start the cycling season (some have already been out a few times!). If you are ready to cycle, go join them!
For others, we will be posting some information about another coffee & hike for Sunday morning … for a more gradual transition from skiing to cycling 🙂

SEASON FINALE: November 25
After another spectacular hike this past Sunday (guide: Bob), the ski season is slowly but surely starting. Our first day at Sovereign Lake on Saturday was fantastic!
The SEASON FINALE hike will be graciously hosted by Joyce. We will be meeting at the Bean Scene on Dickson at 9am again to have a quick coffee, heading out to Joyce’s house at 1922 Bartley Road (additional parking at the left turn road just before her house; do not park on Bartley Road) around 9:40am. Westsiders can meet us at her house at 10am.
The hike will go along McDougall Rim; distance to be determined. Views should be great again!
Joyce will be making her famous coffee for us afterwards, so please bring some cookies or other snacks, or any other beverage you prefer.
You guys are awesome!!!
