Re: Vatternundan
I did the Halvvättern (1/2 distance 150 km ride) 3 years ago. 5000 riders, very well organized event. Windy! I was able to rent a bike for the event but would bring my own next time.

Re: Sat AM C ish Ride
I have a vaguely similar plan to train for an event or two in June or July. Will join the ride on Saturday unless too rainy.

Re: Sharing the road
I have seen cars trying to pass the group (more often in non Tripleshot rides) and all too often someone is riding 3 abreast ahead. "Car back" should mean we get in line quickly (can be done- no problem on Tuesday turning on to Landsdown or Cedar Hill X Road). One problem is that a large g...

Re: Dec 8: 4th Annual Backpack Ride for the Mustard Seed
I saw a commuter last year on a snowy day with training wheels on the front and rear of his bike. The wheels on the front were raised a few inches. Just add studded tires and no more worries about icy roads.

Alternate Route on Icy Sunday rides
This must have been discussed previously re. alternate Sunday routes to avoid the black ice on Wallace drive (seemed sketchy today). Ice is much less common on the East side of the peninsula. Perhaps to Sidney and back, back along the waterfront, etc. etc. If looking for hills- Ash hill or Mt Tolmie...

Warning- New Mt Doug Park Curbs on edge bike lane
There are two new curbs in Mt. Doug Park (Cordova Bay Rd) at the crosswalks on the painted bike lane. They are black asphalt with traffic cones. Watch out for them on the Friday ride. I believe the purpose of the curbs is give inattentive drivers two rather that one bumps if they run over a pedestri...

AEDs in Victoria
When I was riding a Fondo event in Sweden 2 years ago I passed a fellow rider who was down with a cardiac arrest. EMTs were already there with paddles etc. and on checking the news the next day there was no mention of the event so he hopefully made it. On our rides it is possible to come across some...

Maybe this stopping method could be adapted to rim brakes..

Riding in the smoke
How risky is heavy exertion in the newly arrived wildfire smoke? Most information deals with acute or occupational exposure. This review article has a good summary: Non-Accidental Health Impacts of Wildfire Smoke- http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/11/11/11772/htm Most risks apply to those with chronic l...

Lazy on Observatory Hill
Apologies to the group if you waited at the top for myself to arrive. I had an attack of hill-itis half way up and turned back. Next time I'll wait at the bottom.

Possible job or vacation opportunities...
I found this article re. use of pedal power on the new America's cup sailboats. Could be a way to stay fit during Victoria winters.
