Tripleshot Cycling

Garth: re JT’s comment, I think your G(arth)PS system has taken you to this stretch of Hazlitt Creek before; but weren’t you on foot? Hey Rolf, I’ve run and ridden the Hazlett Cr trails. The route you’ve plotted out through that area is 90% doable on a cx bike (there are a few sections that’ll be a...

Hi All, Darryl B., Dave T., Samantha H. Kirsten H. and I have been planning a trip to Girona, Spain in May/June 2020. My plan is to arrive in Girona on May 27 and stay until June 7th (11 nights/10 days of cycling). Then to Barcalona for 3 nights of June 7,8,9...flying home the 10th of June. Darryl, ...

Dave Jetz and I are planning on riding up Hurricane Ridge and then to Obstruction Pt (gravel road) on our cx bikes if anyone else is interested in joining in.

Hi Rob, Back when I ran, I knew of one guy that almost died from acute renal failure and heard of others that had the same experience. They were taking NSAIDS (not sure the doses) to get them through their ultra marathon running events. Bosie describes below really well what happens if you take too ...

Steve, Sorry to hear of your crash and nasty collarbone break! Hopefully once you’ve had surgery, you’ll be in less pain. Too bad the ‘chicken bone’ is such an integral bone in the function of the shoulder. You mentioned in your first post that we need to start a support group for all that are injur...

That means a lot coming from you Alan

Yup all done the Festive 500, now to have a fun day on the Great Trail
Too bad you have the time to do the ride...it should be a good way to end 2018!

Planning a cx ride on The Great Trail on Sunday December 30 with a stop at the Kinsol Trestle and Drumroaster Coffee or Prima Strada Pizza in Cobble Hill before we make our way back through Shawnigan Lake, up Goldstream Heights and taking the Great Trail back to Victoria. It'll be a long one (145 km...

I took a stab at a route for tomorrow.
We can change it if people want to do something different.

We'll be riding past the Switch Bridge around 7:50 if you want to meet the group there instead.

So Ann and I verified the route with TS supercomputers and came up with this route:

Note: we're riding this route counterclockwise.

Hey Rolf,

Sorry I had extra spicy re-fried beans tonight...hope that's ok!

Here's the route I was thinking of doing...if Rob Britton can do it, it shouldn't be a problem for us!

Haha, just kidding!
Working on the route now...

I’m in! Looking forward to getting out on my cx bike finally!

That's great news Eric!

Sounds like meeting at 7:30 works, see everyone at Alpha SB Sunday morning for some cx adventures!

Steven,
There are some steep pitches (15-20% grades) and possibly some walking over a few technical areas.
Not sure I would want to do the ride with road shoes and 34x25 gearing, but you might be more hardcore than me

Would everyone that's doing the cx ride be ok to start at 7:30am from Alpha SB instead of 7am?

Great race report Geoff, amazing what your body and mind can do when you’re pushed to the limit!
Congrats to you and Mandy for not only finishing the grueling event, but finishing well up in the standings!

After checking out Hazlitt Creek area for cx riding, I've come up with a couple of routes to ride on Sunday to incorporate this area. Here's a link to my strava activity of the Hazlitt Cr area: https://www.strava.com/activities/1738734669 I was thinking we could start the ride at 7am from Alpha SB (...
