Welcome to our blog!
I was just notified by UPS that the arm warmers will be arriving today! So I will bring them to this week’s Sunday ride on July 29 as well as next week.
Please (as per the previous post) use INTERAC via email to pay for your orders or bring cash on Sunday (to make keeping track easiest I will only hand them out after payment :) …)! I will put aside the ones for Beez who are away and have emailed me. Email me at biggi07@hotmail.com with questions.
Just an update: The arm warmers are ordered, manufactured and in transit to Kelowna. They will be arriving next Monday, on July 31.
I will distribute them at the Sunday ride on August 5, both before the ride from 8:30am and after the ride from roughly 12pm onwards.
If you cannot make it to the ride, please let me know and we will find another way to get them to you! If you let me know that you will be at the Wednesday ride on August 1, I can also bring your ordered item(s) then.
It would be easiest if you could transfer $15 (CAD, no tax) per ordered pair to biggi07@hotmail.com via online Interac transfer (use the password/hint “killerbeez”). You can also pay in (exact) cash when you pick them up. I will keep track of any online payments, of course.
Still looking to have a few more Beez join into this order of arm warmers … Consider all the advantages:
It has been a long while since we ordered Killer Beez jerseys … and after a recent post-ride discussion, we decided to offer a new item this year: Arm warmers!
As per the picture below, they are uniquely designed with the previous bee mascot but neutral in colour to go with any jersey. They can be worn to keep the warmth in or the sun out, and have a silicone strip to stay in place.
They will be very competitively priced at $15 per pair (no tax). If you would like to order, please email me with the number of pairs and sizes. 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 Joyce or Biggi. Medium fits Mel or Michael. Large fits Graham or Bob. If you need exact measurements, here are the narrow (wrist)/wide (arm) openings for each size:
Please email me at biggi07@hotmail.com to order. Will figure out distribution later …
Everybody was excited when we discussed potential Beez gear for 2018 … thank you to those who emailed me … but sadly I have heard from only a few so far :(
Now that we have the design and arrangements, I need more orders to make it worthwhile! Remember that the price is about half of what they cost in the store …

From Michael:
On Friday, June 29, we will go on a different ride (weather permitting).
We will meet at 8:00am at the West Kelowna Starbucks for car pooling, or at 9:00am in Penticton at Skaha Lake Park (Cypress St.).
The ride will start at 9:00am. It will be about 98K.

Hope to see you there.

It’s Bike to Work week, and with the current focus on cycling, various organizations are encouraging you to register your bike online to help in case of theft.
It’s quick and easy: Go to project529.com and save information about your bike that will be critical in case of theft … color/model, serial number, value, pictures, etc. Add as much or as little as you want (keep in mind what will be helpful if the bike disappears for police and insurance).
Over 2000 Okanagan residents have already done so (including me). Bike theft sucks but if the police and insurance have enough information, it can often have a good ending!

As you are our guests for this one, we will have some light snacks, hydration, and tools/shop supplies available at the start and in the resort. It is highly recommended that every rider plans to be self supported with nutrition and be prepared with tubes and mechanical supplies on the road.If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out directly. I’m looking forward to meeting up with everyone on the 24th.Cheers,Trevor
