Starting May 21, the Sunday Beez ride will start at 9am from the Bean Scene on Dickson Road.

Kelowna Cycle’s Saturday ride is leaving their store on Pandosy at 9:15am.

From Michael:

The weather forecast for Monday May 22. is looking good. So we will go on the Green Mountain ride. Leave  at 9:00am from Skaha Lake parking (Elm Av. Penticton) Or at 8:00am at Starbucks on Louie Dr. in West Kelowna for car pooling.

Hope to see you there.

Michael.

Joyce’s Ride (aka Wednesday ride) has started!

Whenever the weather is good, we meet at Kelowna Cycle for a relaxed 30-35km ride through East Kelowna (we will leave at 5pm to maximize daylight). This is always followed by a social coffee at Blenz …

All paces, all ages 🙂

Bike To Work week is May 29 to June 4! Leave the car at home and enjoy some fresh air on your way to work! There are breakfast stations and prizes to be won!

More light, warmer days. Cycling isn’t far off!

If the roads are dry and the morning mild, we will start the rides next Sunday, April 9, at 10am. Meeting spot is Bean Scene on Dickson.

This early in the season, rides will happen weather permitting. You can always show up for coffee if it’s wet 🙂

Please see below the note from Chuck about Old Vernon Road bike lane issues. Could you please email him directly if you have engaged in this with the ministry, are planning to do it or have other questions?

I believe it is an important issue … such a dangerous stretch that we all ride frequently.

So the major issue is when cyclists or pedestrians walk or ride along Old Vernon Road, there is no room for them as the road is too narrow. Especially when there are time trials for the competitive cyclists, there are considerably more cyclists on the road and I fear that one day, one of them is going to get hit.

I also ride this road and don’t like the fact there aren’t any bike lanes from McKenzie to Spencer or Spencer to Hwy 97.

I would like to know if anyone in your group has started a dialogue with the ministry of highways regarding making bike lanes on Old Vernon Road from McKenzie to Spencer Road.

Please let me know as I have made an initial call to them.
