Welcome to our blog!
We put together some pictures of memorable hiking & cycling adventures with Bob ❤️
Please remember to email to [email protected] if you plan to attend the memorial service on June 4 (see obituary). Betty is also asking people to carpool to the service as parking is very limited.
Volunteers are required for rider registration at the OSCR (Armstrong) Century Ride to be held on on May 29th. This ride, one of our favourites, is finally back after a 2 year absence. 12 to 16 volunteers are required to register riders and pass out swag between 7:15 AM and 8:30 AM. Please consider volunteering so this excellent ride can go ahead.
Email Janet at [email protected] to offer your services.
It is the most upsetting of all posts when we have to announce the loss of one of our beloved Beez. Having just chatted with Bob over coffee, smiling and happy after a 90km ride, his very sudden passing just days later shocked us all. There are lots of shared kilometres on our bikes around the Okanagan to remember, and Bob will be missed. We offer condolences and supportive thoughts to Betty and the rest of the family.
Thanks to all who have shown an interest in the Killer Beez 2022 Kootenay Cycle Trip. We have reached the maximum capacity, but will continue to accept names for a waiting list as we expect there may be some cancellations.

With the rapid increase in motorized traffic in the Kelowna area, is gravel biking something we should be considering as a safer alternative to road biking? What is gravel biking anyway? Click here for some answers.
Maybe I shouldn’t be selling my cyclocross bike after all ! !
Please enjoy the pictures from our Killer Beez road trip to Winthrop WA!
The Killer Beez Friday rides are starting up at 9 AM on Friday, May 13th. The starting location is Pritchard Park at 1566 Pritchard Drive in West Kelowna.
Join Michael to give those legs a good workout as there are a few hills in West Kelowna.
Effective immediately, the Wednesday Group Ride will start from the Bread Company/Kelowna Cycle parking lot on Pandosy. The time remains 2pm. The route will consist of a 35 km loop around East Kelowna.
Followed by coffee, of course.
On Saturday, the group ride starts from Bean Scene Dickson at 10am. We will be riding the Airport route from there.
With the introduction of a no-fault system by the Insurance Corporation of BC in 2020, BC cyclists are behind the 8 ball if they are involved in an accident with a motor vehicle. Click here to learn the unfortunate facts.
Be extra careful out there.
Having received numerous inquiries regarding plans to repeat last years 3 day Kootenay Cycle Trip, we are now in the very preliminary stages of compiling a list of those interested. The tentative dates are Saturday Aug 27th to Tuesday Aug 30th. The route would be the same as last year but in reverse. We would start and finish in Castlegar. Day 1 would be Castlegar to New Denver, day 2 would be New Denver to Nelson via Kaslo, and day 3 would be Nelson back to Castlegar. Each day is would consist of a minimum of 100 kms of riding and approximately 1,000 meters of elevation. Support cars would accompany riders. Hotel rooms have been held. If you are interested in participating please email [email protected] to be added to the list and receive further information as it becomes available.
Regards to All.
