Victoria Cycling accommodation rental

Hi All, It's been a while since Allison and I have been out as we've been working hard on a long term project. We've converted our home into a vacation rental that is ideally suited for cycling enthusiasts as it has a great indoor cycle garage with heated flooring. It's centrally located and beside ...

Re: TCT = Two (2) CRASH Tuesday

Norm, Wise comments especially on a rainy morning ride but not sure how to slow the sprint entering CHXR as the pace jumps a 100m before there and it's a flat out sprint afterwards. (The best bet is to follow my lead and pull the pillow over your head when the rain is coming down hard at 5:30am. jk ...

Re: BC Champs Individual and Team Time Trial, July 20-21, Co

I'd certainly be interested in joining up with some other's for a TTT. (50 yr/old male, cit license)
I may even have access to a nice TT bike so at least I'll look fast.

Caleb - June 5th

Well, from the other side of the fence (kind of), I saw two of the Tripleshot clad members in the C race last night - Brenna and Kate. Along with a gang of Procity gals, Jim Holtz and I (Lister and Thomas were in for some training) made up what was a fun race group. Hard to tell exactly but it appea...

Re: BIG LOOP RIDE - 270km July 7

Good ideas on both parts. We thought taking the lane was a good option but w/o a sweeper vehicle thought that might be dangerous if you caught the wrong car back. Be wary that the mud (from construction) and rain made the shoulder turn to camel snot (for those of you that know what that is..) :shock...

Re: BIG LOOP RIDE - 270km July 7

For those of you doing this ride, myself and the rest of the O2 guys just completed the ride this past weekend. Overnighted in Renfrew which was a great pit stop for those of us not hardy enough to tackle the full loop in a day. Roads are good right up to the Malahat decent. We had three riders go d...

Re: VCL #3, Latoria

As Sylvan said, large and very fast B group again! Right from the start, a couple of riders tried breaking and got the HR moving quickly. I'm a bit of a mutt at this level so only hung on for a few laps before I missed a few gears and got shot off the back on the hill. Worked hard for two laps but n...

Re: Barry's Roubaix (or 33.3% thereof) Race Report

Classic tale Kate! sorry to hear you got bitten by the winter curse and it's really hard to stomach your own DNF decision but the deep humbling effect of your own defeat will make that next (even small victory) taste so sweet. See you on the hills..

Re: Caleb Pike #2

Well, I didn't last long with the lead group but have to say, with a peleton of 33, trying to stay within the one road-lane width and not getting squeazed out the back means the front third fills the allowable space and then some... heck, one midpack rider adjusts and the cones come into play pretty...

Re: New rider - 2013 racing license purchase

I'm really not sure about all the licensing requirements but, as I'm not concerned with UCI points, I've been buying the inexpensive "Citizen license" for $45.00 and paying the (what is it $10 or $20?) for each Master's race (could and should buy the annual license). This gets me into all ...

Re: When is a b ride not a b ride?

That's a classic TS tale! Makes me envious having missed this ride...Then I remembered the weather this morning and I felt better - and more impressed at the efforts of the riders!
