Two-x-elle Women's Cycling Week-end

Fri, Sep 3rd
Location: Kootenay Mountains

The women's-only Two-X-Elle tour through the West Kootenay is back by popular demand! Treat yourself to an extended weekend, designed to provide an incredible cycling experience, topped only by the social experience.

Our first year sold out with 20 women in attendance, and space is limited due to the quaint accommodations in some of the most scenic towns that rural BC has to offer. Enjoy some of the best cycling in the world, on quiet, winding roads along the shores of the Arrow, Slocan and Kootenay Lakes.

As your travel host, Magic Places provides vehicle support, and excellent healthy meals and snacks. The goal of Two-X-Elle is to encourage participation of women in sport, to share our knowledge and experience with sport, and to share the excitement and energy of adventure with other women. The longest ride is 120km, however you may take advantage of vehicle support as you like. Secure your spot for 2010 to join a superb group of women who like to ride, eat, and laugh!

Registration is now available. Contact Magic Places to book your spot:
