This is not a Kelowna Cycle ride but has existed for years and is endorsed by the staff as a true classic and is worth participating in. There are two rides to choose from:
A group: covering the same 80km route each week at a moderate to fast pace.
B group: covering a different 70+ km route each week at an slightly easier tempo.
C group: covering 30-40km. A great for newbie’s.
