Change in Start Time for Killer Beez Group Rides
With the the arrival of significantly cooler weather and shorter days, Killer Beez regular group rides scheduled for Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday will start at 10 AM, effective immediately. The start time for the West Kelowna Friday group ride will remain at 9 AM.
This notice does not apply to the Green Mountain Ride scheduled for this Saturday. The Green Mountain Ride will start at 9 AM from Skaha Lake Park in Penticton.
Green Mountain Ride Announcement
There appears to be considerable interest in riding the Green Mountain route out of Penticton. Therefore it has been scheduled for Saturday, September 23rd and will start from Skaha Lake Park at 9 am.
Carpooling will be available from Starbucks in West Kelowna from 7:30 – 745 am. Be aware that there may be a slight delay on the drive to and from Penticton due to alternating one way traffic at the slide location north of Summerland.
The Green Mountain route is approximately 90 km in total distance with 1,100 m of climbing. Faster riders will have the option of including the climb to Apex Ski Village as well. A couple of shortcuts are available for those wanting a shorter route. The ride will be followed by coffee/lunch at a location to be chosen by the group.
Hope to see you there as this will probably be the Killer Beez last special ride of the season.
Checking in …
We just wanted to reach out to everybody and ask how you’re doing! Over the last 5 days, we have learned about evacuation orders for some of you, evacuation alerts, leaving the smoke behind and generally stress and worries for everybody. Thankfully the situation is calming down and no new wind events are forecast to happen. The firefighters did an amazing job protecting our community
Hopefully the current status we are aware of, that none of us has lost their house, continues to be true. Some of you are still in town battling the smoke while some of us have left early for the coast where the breathing is much better, or departed for Revelstoke and other areas with cleaner air. Remember to reach out to each other for support!
Wherever you are, stay safe and healthy!
Another Armstrong / Enderby Group Ride
Another Armstrong / Enderby Group Ride is planned for Friday September 8th and will start at 9 AM from Memorial Park in Armstrong. Several people including Michael Malkowsky missed the first ride and so a second one had to be scheduled which Michael will lead.
This popular ride travels through scenic farm land on the East side of Highway 97 to Enderby and Grindrod. An excellent refreshment stop halfway along the route is Farmer Johns near Grindrod where riders can fuel up prior to the climb up either Springbend Road or Grandview Bench Road.
