Cost & Registration
The cost for the seven-week series is $135 per rider. All riders must also have a current Okanagan Skaha Mountain Bike Club membership. The membership cost is $25 and is available through the Hivepass app or as an add on purchase (see tickets).
What to Expect
These are group rides rather than structured coaching sessions, and the primary goal is to have fun, ride with friends, and build community within the club.
That said, the timing of the program provides a great opportunity for riders to maintain or rebuild their fitness heading into the October enduro races in Kelowna (Cranksgiving), Penticton (Peachduro), and Vernon (NOCS – Predator Ridge). Riders should expect a combination of climbing and descending, and depending on the group and location, we may ride multiple laps or repeat sections of trail.
The advanced/expert groups may cover longer distances, tackle more technical terrain, and ride at a higher pace, while intermediate groups will follow routes and distances appropriate for their riders. The goal is to provide an enjoyable and appropriately challenging ride for each group rather than having every rider follow the same route.
The emphasis will remain on fun, community, and getting out on the bike. While the rides can help riders get conditioned or reconditioned for the upcoming enduro season, this is not intended to be a specific race-training program.
With riders coming from a range of ages and ability levels, we expect the final group structure to develop once we see who has registered. Our coaches and ride leaders will work to create groups that provide an appropriate level of challenge while allowing riders to enjoy the trails together.
