Hi Mark- thanks so much; I should have reposted but I've been able to get a cheap flight up so I'm good. Thanks very much.

Cheers,

Hi- I'm doing IMC in Penticton but my family can't make it up till the day before the race (two kids in summer camp)- but registration closes end of Friday. If anybody knows of other folks heading up with spare room for one person/bike I'd be delighted to share all trip costs. I'm best reached at wa...

Dave- ack, I'm now a miss for the Ridge ride this long week-end- juggling social/work/training stuff so have to postpone this. Shame- forecast looks good. This would make a great Indian Summer ride in Sept though...I'll re-post then to see if any interest.

Cheers,
Chris

Dave- Sat or Mon should both work.

Anybody else up for this? Sat? Mon?

My favourite subject header of the year so far....

(Sorry Alan, I don't have it)

Dave- home office approval confirmed. Is it possible/feasible to ride it twice and still make the 12:45 ferry? Not familiar with the stats on this ride but sounds like 17 miles, 5240 feet vertical. We'd have about 4.5 hours so I imagine it's pretty tight or impossible. Keen to ride twice if anyone e...

Definitely maybe pending home office approval...leaving/returning times?

Love that.

Epic day gents; it was a great ride in every way. Josh, Mat, Simon, Mike L., Barton- thanks. Simon- awesome job doing it on heavy bike- and on those tires- man oh man. I agree this was just a first attempt to max out the vertical/horizontal ratio. Some thoughts in the ongoing quest for 10,000 feet o...

Thanks for doing that Josh- hopefully someone's got an altimeter on their computer. See you Douglas Starbucks 6am? Off to bed...

Barton- proposed route (it's changing by the minute but it the theme is hills till our gums bleed) is roughly: Munn's > Finlayson to Goldstream > Malahat to Mill Bay > back UP Malahat > Goldstream Ridge > back to Malahat > up Finlayson > Munn's > Millstream/Ross-Durrance > LEFT on Willis Pt (down t ...

Barton- check response on Max Vertical thread where discussion ongoing for tomorrow's ride

So DOWN Finlayson? You're probably right (but yikes)

...and Simon- you in? But maybe not on that Hummer you call a bike...

Weatherman says PERFECT morning tomorrow!- who's in for this? Dave? Josh? Mat? Mike L.? Dylan? Anybody else?

Josh- First draft, amendments welcome: Malahat > Mill Bay > back up Malahat > right on Shawnigan Lake Road up to Goldstream Ridge > back down Malahat > Bear Mountain > Finlayson Arm Road > Millstream > Millstream Lake Rd/Ross-Durrance > LEFT down Willis Pt > back up and over Willis Pt > West Saanich...

Below a link to data on some but not all of the local climbs (thanks Roland for that link a few weeks back): http://www.strava.com/climbs-by-country/canada/british-columbia/victoria Doesn't include Malahat/Goldstream Ridge and probably a few others I'm forgetting right now. After last week's hilly S...

Yar-Chris Fraser and I are in. We're meeting our lovelies to catch the 10:05 Mayne ferry so we'll disembark the train around 9:30.

Cheers,

After yesterday's Mountain Madness ride a few of us got to discussing other routes that would pack in even more vertical. Yesterday's ride had about 1500 metres of climb over about 102 km (Dave S. has the exact numbers) One tweak of the current MM ride we discussed: Malahat > Mill Bay > Malahat >rig...

IN!

Cheers,
Chris
