Additional information for the weekly rides can be found on the Events Calendar page or on Facebook. Most operate only when DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME is in effect. The number of people at each ride can and does vary greatly. All rides are at-your-own risk as to weather, and if there is enough sunlight to finish the ride (so bring your bike lights because they might be necessary). Helmets are required.

All events are tentative and subject to change. Check with the ride leader and on the KVBC Facebook page for the most current information. Emailing the ride leader to confirm details is always a good idea.
