Comments from 2011 “I did the 100K and although the final hill was tough I can't wait to do it again! Go figure. I thought the event was great and the food was fabulous. It's nice to find that $20 gets you all of that!” – Tim F., Vernon “…liked the finish line location, being welcomed at the finish line, the dressed up and friendly volunteers, a good variety of food items and a chance to socialize with others.” - Cyclists from Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon and Burnaby “The 100K is the “Best route” – I love it!” – a Kelowna cyclist "Great ride. We will be returning next year with friends. All in all a great event that we thoroughly enjoyed. Many kudos to the volunteers." "Thank you for a good organized ride. The volunteers did a very good job. And yes I will do this ride again." "What a fantastic day, enjoyed every moment!"
