Welcome to our blog!
We will be doing one of our favourites, the Green Mountain ride, next Sunday June 8. Meet at 8am at Starbucks in West Kelowna on Louie Drive, or at 9am in the Skaha Lake parking lot.
The ride is about 90km, up Apex, through the valley, up to Twin Lakes golf course and back through Ok Falls. Some challenging hills but very scenic. Let me know if you have questions.
Okay, so maybe Kelowna isn’t QUITE New York City. But I know thefts are on the rise here as well.
This is a good read – scary, eye-opening, touching since we all love our bikes – giving you a glimpse into the world of “bike crime”. And sweet revenge.
Plan your next bike purchase … or just drool over these beauties ….
Now that we are enjoying warm weather and regular group rides, a reminder about paceline behavior is appropriate. Please review this article, and even though we don’t do rotating pacelines at high speeds very often, most points in this article apply to every regular ride.
Also please remember for all group rides to never pass on the right – something that almost always causes crashes. Instead, always pass on the left and make sure to alert other riders if they drift too far to the left for you to pass safely.
