We will see about the roads. a few of the routes i have been eyeing up still have a bit of gravel on them, but there didn't seem to be too many cracks. we will see when i finally ride over them.

They are some very helpful laid back guys, that's for sure. And they really love what they do, and know their stuff.

Depends which areas of town you're biking in... some are better than others

I am up in glenmore so i was thinking of down glenmore drive (my gym is on harvy/glenmore). and maybe through sexsmith dr. I hear east Kelowna has some pretty good roads. and i will have to check out some routes along the water.

Dave/Matt was telling me about the saturday morning rides they do, so i will probably check out some of those for ideas/friends

I find the problem with a lot of the areas in Kelowna is how close between intersections are, and it's hard to find the sweet spot to not keep getting stopped. Depends if you're looking for a route to train on. But you're right, you can get to sexsmith from glenmore, and head down old vernon road behind the airport, and you can loop back on the highway. bike lanes the whole distance

There's a few different meet ups around kelowna for people who want to bike, the most interesting are the cruiser bike rides that start downtown in the summer

You skinny tire guys are crazy, I ride in the woods where it's safe!

J/k, nice bike!

A good ride for Kelowna would be to Penticton and back. Next trip, Vernon. Great highway for riding, and awesome summer weather coming up.
Once you're in better shape, head out hwy 33 towards Big White...
