Group Road Rides are Back

Hi there! My name is Peter Weisinger and I’m the new Road-rep for the SCC! Michelle and I are planning to lead regular/weekly road rides starting sometime during/after spring break, weather dependent.

I just wanted to introduce myself, and to gather some information and see what the interest level is. Please email me and send me some info if you are interested! Please put: Shuswap CC / Road in the subject line, so I can sort the emails and so I won’t miss any, or have them classified as junk. Also, please don’t “respond to all” as we don’t want to inundate everyone’s inbox. Depending on what people want, we may change the communication method later.

  1. How many of you out there are roadies, and would be interested in group rides? (I will assume if you respond to this email that you are)
  2. What days would you prefer for a weekly evening ride? And at what time? (obviously as many of us ride MTB as well, we will strive not to overlap with regular club […]

Annual General Meeting

The SCC is having its 2022 Annual General Meeting on Thursday, November 24th, 7pm, at the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre – Room 1.

There will be an election for 5 incumbent Board of Director positions for a term of 2 years. We also have 2 vacancies on the Board of Directors that we are looking to fill.

Joining the Board is a great way to squeeze even more fun with biking. We meet casually about once a month and discuss interesting topics like planning trails, events, races like the Salty Dog, or winter grooming. Have a particular passion? This a great chance to bring it forward. Or simply join the conversation and pitch in where you can. You don’t have to be the town shredder or do century rides twice a day to contribute!

Please email us if you are interested, or would like to nominate someone for a position.

Aside from the election we will also be looking back at 2022 and taking a sneak peek and […]

Meet our new president, David Major

First, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to Adrian Bostock for his leadership and valuable input as club president over the last few years. We’re glad you’re staying with us as a director!

David has been on the Board since 2018 but has been working on the SCC’s website, making maps, processing memberships, and handling communications since 2013. He’s a mountain biker at heart and loves all the natural and technical or fast singletracks around the Shuswap. He first started riding trails in the Carmi area in Pentiction, where he grew up, and now his favourite loop is to wind up the Rubberhead climb trail, over to the Ida View trail that wanders through some really nice forest to the top, then down Meatgrinder or Veggie Delight. An amazing loop that has a bit of everything, except crowds!

Dave also tries to use his bike for getting around. One of the things he loves about Salmon Arm is that whether he’s riding to work or running errands, he can always work in a little bit of trail.

Thanks again to Adrian for his many contributions, and […]

Winter grooming update and how to donate
