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.

As it is getting warmer …

… remember to pay close attention to your hydration and nutrition on the bike. I have made the mistake myself, thinking it’s “only” going to be a 2 or 3 hour ride, and I could “make do” with a bit of water. Full-blown bonks are no fun! I have also found that I need plenty of salt and electrolytes on long warm rides – though everybody is different when it comes to sweating. Here are a few resources with more details:
