Impromptu Sunday XC Skiing
Just in time for a drop into less than seasonable temperatures, the provincial government has lifted the ban on outdoor gatherings.
Not that you could necessarily call 10 or fewer people meeting up to hit the cross country trails, sort-of together, an “outdoor gathering.”
But perception does matter.
This weekend, cold temperatures permitting, your club President Ed Heacock will be heading to the ski trails of the Strathcona Wilderness Centre for a couple hours of skiing. All from the club are more than welcome to meet him out at the trail head about 9am on Sundays during the rest of the cross country ski season.
Please send Ed a courtesy email if you plan on meeting him out there: President@VelocityCyclingClub.ca
Saturday Zwift Riding
It’s never too late to throw your name on our Saturday morning Zwift Ride sign up form: >>>HERE<<<
Just put your name on the list to receive Meetup invites from me. No obligation to ride – the form just makes it easier for me to send out invites each week. Please read the directions on the sign up form to ensure you receive my invites.
I now have an in-ride Zoom session going so we can freely chat during the ride (with video muted to save your Internet bandwidth and to avoid sharing your “sweaty” face!). If you’ve signed on to ride, I’ll send you the link in a private email.

I’ll be planning a big block of riding in the picturesque Okanagan valley. Some in-real-life riding to truly get our outdoor season going again!
And speaking of that outdoor season, all Penticton members will need their club membership active. Easy to check it off now that …
