New Start Time: 10am

What a beautiful sunny ride this morning!

From next week on (Sunday, October 20) … we will be starting at 10am from the Bean Scene on Dickson Road. Give it another hour to warm up … and we should have a few more weeks left until the ski season starts! See you there!

Labour Day Weekend …

… Started with a lovely Saturday ride in perfect temperatures. Tomorrow, Sunday, the regular Sunday ride leaves at 9am from the Bean Scene on Dickson. Michael is doing a modified Green Mountain ride; see post below.
If you are up for a holiday ride (40-50km), meet us at 10am on Monday at Kelowna Cycle.
Happy Riding!

And here is a picture of today’s ride: 

Special Ride July 7

From Michael:

On Sunday July 07. we are going on very nice ride to Mabel Lake. We leave from Coldstream to Lumby to Mabel Lake and back, about 120km. We will meet at Starbucks at the mall by Chapters at 08:15am or in Coldstream on Kalamalka Rd at Lavista Park at 09:00am.

Hope that the weather will cooperate. There is a small store with some basics at Mabel Lake. There is also the option of starting in Lumby for those that would prefer a 70 km round trip; we would still meet at Starbucks or Lavista Park as per the email below.

Summer Sunday Rides

Just to eliminate any confusion that might have started: We will continue to ride at 9am from the Bean Scene on Dickson (Landmark). Bernard is more “parking challenged” than before, and our new start location is safe, it eliminates the highway crossings, it has plenty of space to park as well as have coffee after (inside and outside). See you there!

Great bike for sale!

Don’t forget water, food and sunscreen (refilling possible at Twin Lakes golf course about half way into the ride). Let’s hope that we will need the sunscreen!

Salmon Arm Century Ride

The registration for the Salmon Arm Century Ride has started (today, at 6 am). Just like the OSCR ride, it fills up quickly so if you’re interested in riding it this year (September 14), be quick to register. You can choose between distances ranging from 10km to 100km. All are very scenic!
