Shuswap Cycling Club Ride Lead by Jim Maybee
June 15, 2014 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Sponsored by Trailheads & Askew’s
Join Jim Maybee of Trailheads Cycle & Ski for a Sunday Group Road ride. Meet Sunday morning at 9:00am at the top of the hill at Askews Uptown. Ride will be 1.5 to 3 hours in length and average 20-25km/hr. Everyone is welcome, and road bikes are preferred. Please bring a spare tube, plenty of water, energy bars, and clothing for variable weather.
The ride on Sunday will still happen, but I highly recommend joining Herman and Louise Bruns for their annual Fathers Day Pancake Breakfast Ride. See Below. – Jim Maybee
Hi Everyone!
Father’s Day is coming up in just over a week – time for the 3rd annual Pancake Breakfasts ride.
For those of you who haven’t done done this ride before, the plural of breakfast is not a typo. Meet at our house in Salmon Arm (930-37th Ave SE) at 6:50am. We head out at 7:00am sharp for the first leg of our ride (25km) out through the Industrial Park and along Deep Creek road for a pancake breakfast at the Hullcar Hall at 8:00am.
By 8:45am we’ll be back on our bikes for the next leg of the ride to Putula Park in Mara for our second pancake breakfast. We have to get to Putula Park before they close (at 10:30) so you can choose one of the two route options (click on links below for maps) to get to Mara by 10:15am. The pancake breakfast in Mara is renowned for quality including a gluten free pancake option and the choice of several homemade fresh berry toppings. So it is definitely worth the effort to ride out there.
After a leisurely second breakfast, we should have enough energy to ride back to Salmon Arm. We have the choice of riding back via Grandview Bench or the somewhat shorter Springbend Road.
No need to bring food on this ride obviously but as these pancake breakfasts are fundraisers for community facilities, a couple of $10 bills would be great.
Looking forward to Sunday, June 15th, 7:00am sharp!
