A few of the Beez would like to make the upcoming Sunday ride (July 14) a bit longer by going to Predator Ridge. Same meeting spot and time (9am at Bean Scene) where the details of the route will be shared. If you’re interested, just show up prepared (food and drinks).
Last reminder …
… to let me know if you want to order a pair of arm warmers. Details see below. The order will go out on Wednesday July 10 morning so please email me by the end of day Tuesday, July 9!
Arm Warmer Orders – Need more to place the order!
In order to get these arm warmers shipped from the manufacturer and not lose any money, I need a few more orders (if I want to offer them for the same price). Please consider ordering some – see the information below.
Some of you had expressed interest in ordering more of the Kelowna Killer Beez arm warmers:
As per the picture and just like the previous order, they are uniquely designed with the previous bee mascot but neutral in colour to go with any jersey. They have been popular on cloudy days for warmth and on sunny days to keep the harmful rays away from the skin (lightweight fabric).
Again they will be very competitively priced at $15 per pair (no tax).
If you would like to order (more, or for the first time), please email me before July 10 with the number of pairs and sizes. Delivery estimate will be provided after the order is placed with the manufacturer.
This is a great gift for yourself, children who cycle, wives/husbands who run or friends who ski! There is no such thing as an “official Beez member” so anybody is welcome to order and wear them with pride.
Sizing: Small fits a small woman such as Pam. Medium fits Mel or Michael, and is preferred by Joyce and Biggi. Large fits Graham or Bob. If you need exact measurements, here are the narrow (wrist)/wide (arm) openings for each size:
- Small: 136mm/230mm
- Medium: 156mm/255mm
- Large: 176mm/280mm
Please email me at biggi07@hotmail.com to order. After the order arrives, I will bring them to the Sunday ride to distribute. Payment is preferred via Interac transfer at the time the order is placed (or in cash at delivery).

FAKBRT Pictures plus May 18 & 19 plans …
The First Annual Killer Beez Road Trip (FAKBRT) was a smashing success! Thanks to Mike and the other committees ;-) for all the hard work. We saw breathtaking scenery, road many km’s in Washington’s Methow Valley and replenished with BBQ, beer, pizza and the outstanding breakfast at the Chewuch Inn. Besides our Kelowna crew we had “Guest Beez” from Alaska and Vancouver join us! Have a look at the pictures and put this on your calendar for next year!
Saturday May 18: Meet at Kelowna Cycle at 9am for a ride if the weather is good! If enough people are interested throughout the summer, we will make this a regular ride for Saturdays.
Sunday May 19: Regular ride now starts at 9am. If it’s rainy, come for coffee.
Westside Ride starting at 9am from May 17
It is finally warmer!
For this week (May 10) we will leave the start time at 10:00 am.
Starting next Friday (May 17), the start time is 09:00 am.
Have fun riding.
Michael
New Sunday Start time from May 19
The consensus after yesterday’s ride was to switch to the earlier start time two weeks from now. So starting on May 19, we will be leaving the Bean Scene on Dickson at 9am!
