To take advantage of the warm sunny weather during the height of the day, we will be riding at 12noon from Kelowna Cycle this coming Saturday … Please join us!
Most likely about 40km down Lakeshore on the new pavement, followed by coffee.
Wednesday Ride for October 17
To squeeze one more midweek ride out of the season, we will be starting this week’s Wednesday ride again at 4pm (from KC) – it should be quite sunny!
Wednesday Ride for October 10
The Wednesday ride on October 10 will start an hour earlier, leaving at 4pm from Kelowna Cycle!
CHANGE OF START TIME
With the cooler temperatures, we will be changing the start time for the regular Sunday ride to 10AM (from October 14)!
Let’s hope we get a few more dry mild Sundays to take the bikes out before the ski season starts!
It’s smooth …
Bike thefts on the rise!
Lots of bikes are disappearing around Kelowna. That includes locked bikes, bikes in garages etc.
Here is a picture of one of the bike thieves … do you recognize him?
Here is another article on Kelowna bike thefts and advise from the City on how to prevent bike theft.
A great connection …
We tried out the newly paved Rail Trail today! A fast, flat and convenient way to get to UBCO …
As of today, only one small gravel section remains (between Dilworth and McCurdy) but that should also be done in the next few weeks.
Help the Apple as a bike course marshall!
If you can spare some time this weekend, please consider volunteering for the Apple Tri! We are excited to have the event back up and running (with a new course and transition on Bernard!) but they need more bike course marshalls to ensure the safety of the athletes.
Numerous shifts are available, just pick what suits your schedule. Thank you for helping out in your community!
Please follow this link to see and select the shifts:
Update: Arm warmers arriving today!
I was just notified by UPS that the arm warmers will be arriving today! So I will bring them to this week’s Sunday ride on July 29 as well as next week.
Please (as per the previous post) use INTERAC via email to pay for your orders or bring cash on Sunday (to make keeping track easiest I will only hand them out after payment 🙂 …)! I will put aside the ones for Beez who are away and have emailed me. Email me at [email protected] with questions.
Arm warmers arriving on July 31 …
Just an update: The arm warmers are ordered, manufactured and in transit to Kelowna. They will be arriving next Monday, on July 31.
I will distribute them at the Sunday ride on August 5, both before the ride from 8:30am and after the ride from roughly 12pm onwards.
If you cannot make it to the ride, please let me know and we will find another way to get them to you! If you let me know that you will be at the Wednesday ride on August 1, I can also bring your ordered item(s) then.
It would be easiest if you could transfer $15 (CAD, no tax) per ordered pair to [email protected] via online Interac transfer (use the password/hint “killerbeez”). You can also pay in (exact) cash when you pick them up. I will keep track of any online payments, of course.
