Time to get started!!!

A few of you have been looking for information on the “Return of the Beez” :) Well, it has been warm enough so no reason to delay the official start of the cycling season any longer. The roads also seem to be swept sufficiently to ride.
So whoever is ready and has his/her bike dusted off, come out to meet like-minded riders for a social, non-drop ride. We meet at 10am at the Bean Scene headquarters on Dickson Road across Landmark. Later in the year, as it gets hot, we move to 9am but for now the start time is 10am.
Ride is social and probably starts with 45-50km in East Kelowna at this time of the year, increasing to about 75km once the legs are acclimatized. We ride different routes and decide on the morning of the ride where exactly we are going.
Any questions, please let me know (comment on this blog).

Reminder: We need the bike corridor!

Please see the note from Heather Stewart below and make sure to add your voice to this project!!

 

This is really important additional corridor for cyclists, hikers and walkers to go from Kelowna to Vernon. It also has the potential to address a cycling pathway to UBCO.

We have a wonderful opportunity to have a rail trail from Kelowna to Vernon if the current bid to continue it as a railway does not go forward. It currently looks unlikely that it will continue to operate as a railway.
We need 30,000 support emails within the next 6 weeks, to convince the politicians that there is support for this initiative. We would very much appreciate having you add a link on your site, to encourage individuals to go to the following link, and add a very short message of support. It takes less than 1 minute.

If you need any more info, let me know. Thanks
