Goats Peak Hike

This Saturday, October 18th, we will be hiking Goats Peak Regional Park in West Kelowna.  The hike will start at 10 AM sharp from the trail head on Whitworth Rd. West.  Click here for the trail head location.

The hike will proceed rain or shine.  Be prepared for steep and possibly slippery conditions.  The fabulous view from the top is worth it.

Change in Start Times for Group Rides

As we are into the Fall season and the days are getting shorter and cooler, it’s time to start our group rides an hour later.

Effective immediately, the start time for the Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday group rides will be 10 AM instead of 9 AM.

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep.
