August 16th
Sixteen northern Jurassic members on 14 bikes travelled to the Copper Eagle in Greenwood for lunch. Eight bikes left the Osoyoos Info Centre at 10 AM and 6 bikes left the Costco Chevron at 9:30 AM via Highway 33. Incredibly, both groups met 1 km from Greenwood and rolled into town together at 11:45! Most bikes returned back through Osoyoos. Excellent day.

The forecast was for hot weather but not so hot for a shorter ride.
Northern riders met at Westside McDonalds for a 10 AM departure and a ride to Keremeos with lunch at the K Mountain Café. This was the old K-Café under new ownership, new interior and excellent food. The owner Sherry was excited about having us. Return was via White Lake Road.

Eighteen Jurassic Riders on 16 bikes rode to Hedley Hitching Post for lunch. We welcomed new member Michael Warren. Route taken was a loop West Kelowna-Penticton-Keremeos-Hedley-Princeton-Aspen Grove-Connector-Home.
Staff members at the restaurant did a wonderful job as usual dealing with a huge gang.
