Hope to see you for a good ride.

The floods have affected the regular century ride route (washed out bridge at the bottom of the switchbacks) but the event is still on and you can enjoy new routes instead!

Please go to oscr.ca and check out the updated course maps ….

See you there!

From Michael; Saturday:

the forecast is for 30 kmp – 50 amp North wind in Penticton and Osoyoos. So, Bob and I won’t go on the ride out of Penticton tomorrow.

Original message: Sunday Sep. 11 we will go on the modified Ironman ride out of Penticton. The ride is about 145-150KM. Start time is 08:00am from the Skaha Lake park in Penticton. So far the weather forecast is ok hope it stays like this.
See you Sunday for this ride.

From Michael:

On Friday, Aug. 19, we are going to do the Summerland Ride. It’s about 55K. It is a very nice ride, mostly on side roads.
We will start at 8:30am from the Summerland Middle School on Kelly Ave.

Hope to see you there.

… to everybody who finished the Green Mountain ride last Sunday! Hot but fun!

One of the all-time favorites, about 90km, hilly and gorgeous.

Meet at Starbucks on Louie Drive in West Kelowna at 7:30am to carpool, or Skaha Lake parking lot for the ride start at 8:30am.

Bring enough water and sunscreen; resupply at Twin Lakes golf course and in OK Falls.

If you have questions, email Graham at gmcmynn@gmail.com.

Ride to Mable Lake Provincial Park on Sunday, July 31
depending on the distance people would like to do, there will be two starting points:one in Coldstream just outside of Vernon which will be about 120km round trip, start time 9am from the tennis courts on Kalamalka Road just before Postill Road. We will ride the highway to Lumby and take the turnoff to Mable Lake.

Lumby for a round trip of 70km, start time 10am (notice new start time!), meet at the grocery store parking lot on the rhs as you come into Lumby.

There should be limited traffic on the road to Mable Lake as this road just goes to farms and the park, as we are riding in the middle of the long weekend people travelling to and from the park should be minimal. About half way between Lumby and Mable Lake, BC Hydro has a rest stop by the river which is a good place to stop for a snack. There are no large hills on this ride.

There is a small store at the park, but only the basics there for supplies: water, snacks…

I would like to get an idea of who will be coming with average speed and starting point, please let me know at bbperra@shaw.ca . In the past we have had people interested but concerned they would not have someone of equivalent ability to ride with, I would like everyone to have a good time and be able to ride with someone.

Routes are below.

From Michael:

We thought we should ride to Predator Ridge again this coming Sunday! Westside Road is still under construction so “Around the Lake” won’t work.

We will be leaving at 8am from the Bean Scene to do the roughly 84km ride (map here) through Glenmore, OK Centre and Carr’s Landing to the entrance to Predator Ridge Resort. We will then turn around and ride back down the hill, and take the ridge road to Winfield after passing through Carr’s Landing again (no highway).

Of course, coffee after …
