Penticton Bike Fest 2022


  • Penticton, BC Canada (map)

Join us in Penticton this May long weekend for our first ever Bike Fest.

Remember those days spent sitting around with your friends after a great ride? We do too, and are bringing it back with the Penticton Bike Festival. Warm-up for the Enduro season, practice the Granfondo or Ironman routes, check out 100’s of kms of amazing gravel riding, or just join your friends and family while they do all that and enjoy our wine, breweries, and beaches! Grassroots, baby! That’s how Penticton rolls.

Thursday May 19 6:00-8:00 - PACA AGM

Location: The Cannery Brewing Co. Backyard (After Party at Hwy 97 Brewing)

Friday May 20 6:00-10:00

Show & Shine, Registrations

Bring out your best whip and have a beverage with new friends. We’re closing Westminster Road between Cannery Brewing & Highway 97 Brewing for a good old fashioned Bicycle Show & Shine. Categories might include Best Kickstand and/or Softest Banana Seat!

Saturday May 21

Road Group Ride, Social Family Ride

Road Ride 10:00-1:00: The Bike Barn is hosting a guided road ride. Tour the best road riding in the South Okanagan (or anywhere, really!) in a no-drop group. There’s a reason road riders flock to Penticton, so here’s your chance to find out why!

BMX Race Cancelled: Sadly the BMX track was damaged by a burst water line, so we’ve had to call this one off until next year.

Social Rides 6:00-9:00: Starting at the library, this run-bike friendly ride will make it’s way north to the beach along Penticton’s All Ages & Abilities Protected Bike Lane.

Sunday May 22

Enduro, Pub Crawl

Shakin’ Off the Dust Spring Enduro 9:30-1:00: You know the routine: Pedal up, race down. Pedal up, race down...and repeat. Only this time it’s going to be taking place on some of the most unique and picturesque trails the South Okanagan has to offer. Come experience the joy of riding in the Three Blind Mice with a few dozen of your newest, best friends! Base camp is at Origin Winery on Riddle Road.

Pub Crawl: It’s pretty simple. With 7’ish breweries in town go out and find a good time. No funny business!

Monday May 23

Pump Track Jam, Shuttle Rides, Gravel Ride, Good Times

Pump Track Jam 10:00+: You made it this far champ! The weekend isn’t over. We’ll be convening at the Poplar Grove Pump Track for a whole host of events. How about a runbike cruise on the pump track, or for the big kids the biggest air? It’ll be a party, full stop.

Shuttle Rides 10:ish: The Freedom Shuttle van will be taking riders up Arawana Road to enjoy the cruisey descending in the Mice. Guides will (likely) be present.

Gravel Ride 9:30-2:00: The Bike Barn and BASECAMPGRAVEL.CA are teaming up to showcase a premiere ride on the 1000’s (not a typo) of kilometres of gravel that’s here in the South Okanagan. If you can only have one bike and enjoy riding forever, make it a gravel bike.
