PACA Paceliners

No-drop road and gravel rides around the South Okanagan

 

Founded in 2022, the PACA Paceliners is a social road cycling and gravel club suitable for novice to avid riders 19+ years old. Our no-drop road rides take us on 40-100km+ routes around the South Okanagan with an emphasis on fun, safety and a coffee stop. Gravel rides explore routes beyond the KVR such as Shingle Creek and Chute Lake.

To participate in PACA Paceliners rides, please purchase a PACA membership.

We use a free sports management app called Spond to post and manage rides, and to communicate with members. Once you’ve purchased a PACA membership, you can download Spond and join the Paceliners group by following this link.

All rides are led by CyclingBC trained ride leaders who are knowledgeable about the routes, safety, and group riding and etiquette.

PACA Paceliners Kit

Riders can buy jerseys and bib shorts through Jakroo. In the spring, we open the Jakroo store for two weeks for bulk group orders: the more jerseys ordered, the lower the price. 

You can still order jerseys and bib shorts outside of this window, however you’ll pay full price.
