Dallas Road bike lane

Just wondering if TSC plans to provide input on the proposed bike lane along Dallas Road:

I think a club / group riding perspective could be useful.

Re: Lugged frame repair/winter bike wanted

Jesse at http://www.wildwoodcycles.ca/

I would recommend. Think he specializes in steel, but he was able to help me with my Ti frame. Very reasonable.

Poll - longest wait time for frame warranty

Hi, Wanted some input for those of you unlucky enough, "How long have you had to wait to get a frame replaced under warranty?" I just passed the 4 month mark, and it's looking like December at the earliest for me! (Kona, MTB - warranty accepted, no disputes). This seems like too long, but ...

As for the ride, I'll have family coming in from out of town, so it looks like I won't be able to make it...but I will be coming out for more group rides, and ...

Re: Big Loop Ride Sunday 19th July 2015

Alternatively, we could do the loop in reverse, riding up the Malahat and skipping the ferry altogether!
I did this route some time ago and it worked fine, although I'm not an expert on prevailing winds, etc.

Road rash right on the love handle! Thanks to everyone on the ride today for stopping and helping me pick myself up this morning. I don't think I took anyone down, but my apologies for any near misses and unnecessary heart palpitations. At first, I really wanted to keep riding (my first thought was ...

+1 on all Mike's comments, including the reverse loop. Big thanks to Marcus and Nancy for the support, couldn't imagine the ride without it. And to Mark, Paul and John D for all the planning and coordination, and also to the TSC Club, for supporting the ride. And of course to all the other riders co...

Re: BIG LOOP RIDE - 270km July 7

I've done the counter-clockwise route.
Seemed fine, except I got lost a couple of times, so it became the 290km big loop ride.
I have not done the clockwise direction, so can't compare.
We could have two teams, going in either direction, to see who finishes first!
