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.

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!

Crits and Time Trials

Joe advises:

The Tuesday TT and Thursday Crit prices are now $5 per session. If there is a light rain the Crit will often go ahead. The TT is less likely to happen if it is raining. For questions, please email [email protected].

Sunday Rides – New Time starting May 5

Just a reminder that we are now starting the Sunday Beez rides from the Bean Scene at the new Landmark location (lots of space, inside and outside, lots of parking, no dangerous highway crossings).

Up until today (April 28) we still had the later start time (brrrr) but starting on May 5, we will go back to a 9am start.

So: 9am, May 5, Bean Scene Headquarters, Landmark parkade.

See you there!

Local Multi Day Ride

If you are interested in participating in a local multi day ride, right here in our backyard, check out the following link:

Okanagan College Ride

Paul Stephenson, one of our fellow cyclists, is organizing this. Sounds great!!

 

Mid-Week Rides Are Starting …

With the quick change from freezing temperatures to spring- and almost summer-like sunshine, we are now starting our regular Wednesday and Friday rides again.

– Wednesday 5pm, start at Kelowna Cycle. Easy ride into East Kelowna, social and “just for the coffee” afterwards. Anybody welcome.

– Friday 9am, Westside Ride. Start at Starbucks (the “new” one) at 2231 Louis Drive. Always hilly, always with Michael 🙂

We heard last weekend’s Sunday ride from the new location (Bean Scene @ Landmark) was a hit so we are hoping to see everybody out every Sunday from now on. Great to have so much space to park and have coffee after!

 

Easter Rides!

Fantastic weather forecast for the Easter weekend … time to start cycling! Just a reminder that our rides are starting from the Bean Scene Headquarters at Dickson Road (Landmark buildings, downstairs in the newest highrise). It is a perfect starting point, plenty of parking (impossible downtown at the moment), lots of place for the coffee break after the ride and no need to cross the highway twice for a ride down south …

Start time is 10am. See you out on the roads!
