It would be a shame to miss out on this opportunity for an Okanagan Recreation corridor!

Check out the website. I have seen rail trails all over the world (most memorable were the Central Otago Rail Trail in New Zealand, which is spectacular, and the George Mickelson Trail in South Dakota). This would be such a boost for tourism and recreation opportunities for locals.

A world class university campus, home not only to regular classes but also presentations, lectures, seminars and workshops that any resident of Kelowna might want to access. But no safe and legal way to cycle to UBCO! It is time this gets resolved. I just signed this and more support is needed, especially from the cycling community

Bike boxes are being installed in Kelowna. Does it make cycling in Kelowna safer?

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!

What a great opportunity to get another good ride in! It doesn’t cost anything and you don’t have to drive anywhere. Just have some fun with fellow cyclists. Join them and post in the comments how it was!

… 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: 

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.

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!

If you’re looking to update your “ride” but don’t want to spend a fortune, consider Robin’s offer below:

Weather permitting (contact Michael at 250-769-3029), there will be a Green Mountain Ride on Sunday, June 9. The ride is about 90km. Meeting point will be at Starbucks in West Kelowna on Louie Drive at 8 am,  or in Penticton at the Skaha Lake parking lot for the 9 am start.
