Two “Special” Rides
Michael, always in search of more kilometres to ride :) is announcing the following rides:
August 10 2014: Ride to Armstrong and back (from Kelowna). Start at the Bean Scene on Dickson Road (regular Sunday starting point) at 8am. It’s about 160km. Click here to see the route and profile.
August 17, 2014: Modified Ironman course ride from Skaha Parking Lot in Penticton (without the out-and-back that Ironman competitors ride). Distance is 147km. Click here to see the route and profile. Meet at Starbucks on Louie Drive in West Kelowna for carpooling (please more than one rider per car!), or be at Skaha Lake parking lot on Cypress Street ready to ride at 9am.
For all questions, please contact Michael at malkowsky@shaw.ca

Group Ride Reminder
And because all the details are so far down the blog, and I get asked regularly about the group ride details, here they are again:
Wednesday, 5pm, from Kelowna Cycle. 35-40km, leisurely pace.
Saturday, 9:15am, from Kelowna Cycle. 40-50km, not too fast.
Sunday, 9am, Bean Scene Headquarters on Dickson Road. 60-70km, a good workout!
The Westsiders ride on Fridays, starting at 9 am from Starbucks on Louis Drive. Hilly.
Wanna go for a long ride?
Check out this one: A newly created bike trail in Europe along the Iron Curtain. I might be biased but this will include amazing views, lots of history and a ton of good food!
