Update! I rode through today and chatted with the traffic control folks. For the next month (maybe longer) you can only access Prospect Lk Rd via West Burnside from the Helmcken Road end. After that first phase is done, you'll be able to access PLR only from the Watkiss Way end of West Burnside. So ...

Hi all, Just an FYI. West Burnside Rd. is now closed 24/7 between Meadowpark Lane (down towards Watkiss Way) and Prospect Lk Rd. for road construction. Local traffic only. The expected re-opening date is Sept. 16th. According to information sent to area residents, the re-paving project will extend t...

Hi all, I made a commitment to volunteer as a lead bike at the TC10K on Sunday, April 24th and now, unfortunately, I can't be there. I am wondering if someone from TSC would be able to help me out with this? It's pretty fun and easy - you just show up before the run, put on a volunteer t-shirt, get ...

I grew up riding horses all over Saanich so maybe I'm particularly empathetic, but I try to pass a person on a horse the same way I'd like car drivers to pass me - with consideration Big thumbs up to your reminder.

James, I am terribly sorry this happened to your group (and others). To answer your direct questions, my answer is a resounding Yes. I've been advocating for safer roads for quite a while now, particularly in Rural Saanich, and have quite a few thoughts on the topic. Some of you will remember the wa...

Thanks for sharing this, Tim. I have to say, the most frequent problem I have on the roads is unsafe passing.

There were a couple of letters from TSC members in the correspondence for this topic, and I thank you so very much for the support! The meeting was to approve a pilot project for a 40kph speed limit on residential roads in Saanich - roads with no painted centre line. The motion was passed. This will...

Hi all, As many of you know, I've been pretty involved in advocating for safety for vulnerable road users in Rural Saanich in general, and on Prospect Lk. Rd. in particular. As a result of a study done last year, there have been/will be a couple of changes implemented in 2020 as a Pilot Project: * a...

As promised, here are the routes for the TSC/Rapha Women's 100 this Sunday. Don't forget to sign up on Spond :) All groups leave their respective meeting places at 8am, are self-supported, and finish near Uptown.

Spond is now LIVE for this ride. The "B2-3" group is filling fast but we will add another group at this level if it is needed

That's great, Chelsea! And the ride ( 3 groups ) is now up on Spond.

Sorry, guys. We adore you (and your draft) but this one is for the women. Many of you have participated in the Victoria Women's 100km ride in the past few years. It was based on the International Rapha Women's 100. Here's a link to the Rapha event: https://www.rapha.cc/ca/en/stories/womens100">...

I'm in for a wheel dip and Lochside roll on Thursday morning. Cool project!
