A couple of Sunflowers took advantage of the white stuff that arrived this Christmas and got out on the local trails. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! #BFSunflowers #MoreWomenOnBikes #WomensCycling #Fatbike #RideBikesHaveFun #Niagara

2021 Bikes are in!

It was a fantastic day for a bike ride! Thank you to everyone who supported the Sunflowers team this year for The Big Move Cancer Ride as we raised money to support the Walker Family Cancer Centre at Niagara Health in St Catharines. #BFSunflowers #TheBigMove2020 #FightCancer #WomensCycling #MoreRoadRidePics #TheBigMove

Way to go, Sunflowers! Two of the many members who are participating in a virtual version of The Big Move ride this year.

So proud of @writesandstuff and @ijoyride for completing 161 km in their Virtual Ride for Mental Health in support of @woundedwarriorscanada - had to get the full century! Awesome job #WoundedWarriors #RideForMentalHealth #Veterans #WomensCycling #MentalHealth #PTSD #RideBikesHaveFun #BFSunflowers #WoundedWarriorsCanada

Sunflowers on the trails again- just doing a little cleanup on Dead Squirrel (that’s a Sunflower name, we know). Thanks to all the volunteers keeping our local trails in tip-top shape! #BFSunflowers #TrailWork #MTB #WomensCycling #Community #SupportLocalTrails

A bunch of Sunflowers did an overnight cycling retreat with Nature Girl Expeditions and had a blast! Two thumbs up for this event - definitely check them out for fun events next year.

Have fun and stay hydrated! #WomensCycling #BFSunflowers #HotHotHot #TrailRide #SociallyDistant

We’re a Niagara-based club (obviously) #NiagaraCycling #WomensCycling #BFSunflowers #RideBikesHaveFun #RoadRide

10 is the magic number (of Sunflowers in a group after doing some work)! Tonight the club put in time on The Uppers and at The Dip. #BFSunflowers #TrailWork #WeRideWeWork #WomensCycling #SafetyFirst

Just some Sunflowers showing resilience, fixing a flat (and providing emotional support) in the heat yesterday #BFSunflowers #RoadRide #FlatTire #WomensCycling

We’re sad to announce that the Sunflower's 2020 Riding Season and Club Activities are officially SUSPENDED for the remainder of the 2020 Season. This is aligned with the advice from Cycling Canada, the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), the Ontario Cycling Association (OCA), and all other cycling clubs in our area. In spite of the positive trends provincially, Niagara moving into Phase 2 this coming Friday, and the expansion of groups to 10s, we feel that the risks to our members and the community outweigh the rewards of running the club this summer. 2020 memberships will be honoured for the full 2021 season. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. #WomensCycling #BFSunflowers #Niagara #NiagaraCycling

How does New Bike Day get any better? When the trails are finally open and you can ride that flashy full suspension! Hey Kristen - sun’s out, guns out! Looking good #BFSunflowers #NewBikeDay #RockyMountain #WomensCycling #MTB #TrailRide #RideBikesHaveFun #MoreWomenOnBikes #RideLikeAGirl

Virtual Pub Nite on Zoom with the crew! A quick modified round of Cranium drew some laughs, too. Hopefully we can get on the trails together soon. #BFSunflowers #WomensCycling #SocialDistancing #PhysicalDistancing

We may not be riding together, but we can still take time to celebrate International Women's Mountain Bike Day! In the physically distant honour of the day, Executive Members are collecting food bank donations (porch pick-up only)! Thanks to everyone who donated. Stay safe, we will see you on the trails soon.

** and a bicycle. Can’t wait to get out on the trails!

This year Earth Day is a little different. If you've been cycling outside this spring you may have noticed more people on their bikes, and experienced the joys of fewer cars on the road. In this stressful time, hopefully our bikes are able to provide some relief. Happy Earth Day!

When you buy a bike but the borders close before you can pick it up, some magic needs to happen! Thanks to Bikefit Saint Catharines and some friends, new roadie @jonanai can get some miles in at home. #MoreRoadRidePics #WomensCycling #BFSunflowers

Neither Covid-19, nor the sudden snowfall today, is keeping the Sunflower Executive from hoping and planning for the season #WomensCycling #BFSunflowers #StayingHopeful #SocialDistancing #ZoomMeeting

In honour of the final episode of Schitt's Creek, we celebrate Alexis teaching her big brother to ride a bike. It’s never too late - come and ride with us once the season starts! #ThePedalsMakeItMoveMore #SchittsCreek #CanCon #Cycling #BFSunflowers #YayDavid

It’s tough to get out while practicing social distancing these days. Sunflower Kristen and Rosie the Dog are doing their best! #WomensCycling #DogsOfInstagram #RescueDog #SocialDistancing

The club executive, taking advantage of technology to keep on track for the season! #ZoomMeeting #BFSunflowers #StillPlanning #WomensCycling #NiagaraCycling #MoreWomenOnBikes #MoreGirlsOnBikes

Social distancing can be difficult, and as a social club we empathise! Reach out to friends and family and connect, however you can. Let people know how much you care about them. Stay well, Sunflowers! Hope to see everyone on the trails soon #SocialDistancing #Niagara #WomensCycling #StayWell #BFSunflowers

The weather has been lovely but the trails still need time to dry. Remember, if you are leaving a rut, the trail is too wet to ride. Have patience now and we will have fantastic trails this summer. Happy social distancing! #RideDirtNotMud #TrailRides #MTB #WomensCycling #TheSeasonIsUponUs #Almost

Cheers to everyone who came out to The Kickoff last night! Such a fantastic turnout and we can’t wait to get the 2020 Season started! Thanks to our sponsor shop Bikefit for hosting and keeping the tills open so we could shop til we dropped! Roll on, gang!

It’s International Women’s Day! We’re so proud to be a women’s cycling club, getting more girls and women on bikes. #StrengthInSisterhood #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2020 #ShePersisted #WomensCycling

The Sunflower Seeds program is a great introduction to the sport for girls aged 11-14. Every Seeds ride has a mentor who leads the group and helps the girls develop their biking skills and grow their confidence. If you have any questions about the Seeds program or the Club in general, feel free to drop us a DM! #BFSunflowers #SunflowerSeeds #GirlsWhoRide #RideLikeAGirl #RideBikesHaveFun #MoreGirlsOnBikes

Anna May and Sharon represented the Sunflowers at Turkey Point's Global Fatbike Day ride. The lack of snow didn't dampen spirits, though! Thanks @tpmbc for the great event. #BFSunflowers #WomenWhoRide #GlobalFatbikeDay2019 #BringOnTheSnow

If there is a better way to spend the final Friday the 13th of 2019, we'd certainly like to hear about it! Check the Facebook group for details... #CookieExchange #HolidaySeason #Treats #BulkingUpForFatBikeSeason

The rides may officially be over but trail work is ongoing: Sunflower power worked around Santa Hat yesterday. #BFSunflowers #TrailWork #Stewardship #WorkHardPlayHard #WomensCycling

Last night was the final official road ride of the season, which means: post-ride Dairy Queen! #MoreWomenOnBikes #BFSunflowers #MoreRoadRidePics #WomensCycling #Niagara

We are not a performance-based club, but there were some podium finishes today! Podium or no, we're so proud of all our Sunflower racers today @crushermtbrace #TheCrusher2019 #BFSunflowers #MoreWomenOnBikes #NiagaraGrapeAndWine #NiagaraCycling #WomensCycling @ Montebello Park for Grape and Wine

Congrats to all the Sunflowers who signed up, and thanks to the Sunflowers who volunteered. So many smiling faces on course, what a fantastic day for a mountain bike race!

Our members know their wines . . . #Repost @henryofpelham Wine Consultant Karen likes her fruit fermented. There are 75-100 grapes in every glass of wine. Sounds like a fruit salad to us

Tonight was the last official club trail ride of the season. It's been another great year getting more women and girls out on bikes. We can't wait to start planning all the fun for next year! Good luck to all the Sunflowers riding in the Energy Crusher Mountain Bike Race on Sunday

What an Amazing Race/Epic Ride for our Sunflowers. As hot as it was you ladies conquered the trails a the challenges. From building marshmallow catapults to arts and crafts to root beer pong so much fun was had. Oh lets not forget the yummy picnic afterwards.
