RIDE WITH US
BV Velo group rides start at McBike & Sport (1191 Main Street, Smithers, BC).
All participants must be BV Velo members to participate. Sign up using the link below. Note that cyclists can participate in two free "Meet and Greet" rides before registering as a 2026 member:
group ride
Wednesdays
5-7pm
A Group: Riding at a faster pace. Expect structured interval training, fast and tight pace-lines, more hills, and even some friendly racing! You should be well-versed in safety and pace lines to participate. This will be a “drop ride“ which means that if you run out of legs for whatever reason the group typically won’t wait up.
B Group: A “no drop“ ride, meaning that nobody gets left behind. This is the better option to be social while still getting loads of endurance kilometres in your legs! We will typically keep both groups on the same general route which means if you get dropped from the A group, there is a good chance you can fall back to join the B group afterward

BV Velo Femmes
Fridays
9:30-11:30am
Femmes Fridays is a women's ride led by Denise Kelly. This is a no drop ride. Riders will become comfortable in a safe group riding scenario by introducing drafting, pacing, double pace line, and smooth transitions.
Rides will enjoy the scenic Bulkley Valley in a group ride setting, riding classic local routes, and having fun on two wheels! Feedback will be provided on pedaling efficiency, body position on the bike (hills and flats), and general tips to increase your cycling enjoyment. Time trialing, hill climbing, and sprinting among other techniques will be included.
