The Edmonton Masters Cycling Club has a block booking of rooms at the Penticton Tiki Shores for the week of April 17 to April 24/2010 (inclusive). This block of rooms will be held for EMCC until April 1. Below are the room descriptions and the nightly rates that reflect our group discount rate. The Tiki Shores rooms have all been renovated since 2009. If you have any questions, or wish to book a room, please call toll-free 1-866-492-8769 or via their webpage www.tikishores.com
The following rooms are available to EMCC members on a first-come, first-serve basis.
As before, there will be multiple groups of no more than 12 riders per group, with a designated leader in each group. The first group (long and fast, i.e.: 25 km/h average) will leave at 9:00 am, subsequent groups (long and not so fast, short and fast, short and not so fast) at 5 minute intervals, subject to weather conditions.
All groups will head out on the same daily route (see below), but will ride whatever distance is appropriate for each group and the conditions.
