Welcome to our blog!
There was some talk about these three articles about cyclists & drivers, published by a local lawyer on Castanet. Have a read and comment if you like!

With enough daylight to allow cycling late afternoon, we are now starting one of our weekly favourites: the Wednesday ride aka JOYCE’s Ride! Until Joyce is fully recovered, we will have to keep this going without her but in the meantime, meet at 5pm in front of Kelowna Cycle on Pandosy Street.
The ride is usually 35km and will get us back to the coffee shop around 6:40pm or so! Social, fun ride, nobody gets dropped. It really is all about the coffee (tea, water etc.) after 😏
The route was scouted and has some slight modifications right now, due to ongoing construction in East Kelowna. See picture!
From Michael:
It is time to start the Friday ride in West Kelowna. Weather permitting we will start at 10am for now. As usual, from Starbucks (Louie Drive). Hope to see you there.

After another great hike on Sunday, we are now officially starting the cycling season!
For now, the Sunday rides from the Bean Scene will be starting at 10am. As long as the weather is good, meet there and join the group! No-drop, starting with lower mileage, routes change every week.
We will announce when the Wednesday (Mission) and Friday rides (West Kelowna) are ready to go!
Last Sunday’s hike was a lot of fun so I hope all of you can make it out on Sunday April 7 for our last hike before getting on the bikes …
As per usual, we will meet at 9am at the Bean Scene for a nourishing coffee before carpooling to the trailhead.
We will try one of the newer hikes in Kelowna, the Lebanon Park. It is located 5320 Lakeshore Road, with a new parking lot on the east side of the road (we cycle by there all the time).

Starting the hike at 10am from there!
I have been told that some Beez will be meeting on Sunday at 10am at the Bean Scene to start the cycling season (some have already been out a few times!). If you are ready to cycle, go join them!
For others, we will be posting some information about another coffee & hike for Sunday morning … for a more gradual transition from skiing to cycling :)
… If you are done with skiing (great conditions right now, by the way), join Lawrence on this ride:
“Early season bike ride (circa 50 kms on a flat route). Meeting at Kelowna Cycle at 2pm Saturday (March 16).”
From Kristie Voth:
Registration is now open for the 10th Anniversary of the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda!
