Re: Kit pickup starts today!

When we do eventually get to (absolutely no hurry on my end) our first “post-initial kit order” please count me in for at least one pair (likely 2) of those beautiful cargo bib shorts I failed to order. They have external mesh pockets and my one other pair are totally awesome - especially for gravel...

Re: GIFs vs Word count

Ha Ha … okay so that time I showed up at Cook Moka House, a few weeks ago (with my Theragun) sat down beside Larry, Curly and Moe and the 3 of you promptly got up and relocated to the tables at the other end of the patio … I guess that happens all the time right. I’m still smiling here - I promise -...

Re: GIFs vs Word count

Here goes … more words (not gonna make JT happy!). Why is a Club with such remarkable talent and people so seemingly ready to action ideas that only come from or are contributed to by maybe 15 to 20% of them members? In part RW … it would be my observation that posts like your last one essentially t...

Re: GIFs vs Word count

Well if you wanna reread my posts to find the evidence, feel free but wouldn’t be something if somehow our club actively engaged the members so that I could stop being a sacrificial lightning rod for the actual discussion we’d ALL benefit from having permanent access to and use of :roll: If just 20%...

GIFs vs Word count

Is this really a “Safety” related topic … not entirely sure, but willing to explore the possibility. Some of us apparently favour the high volume of “nonsense or whimsical” (insert adjective of your choice) contributions vs some who choose to speak up (with the written word) because they may prefer ...

Re: Yep - I learned from that …

Hey Gabe … a very important add on here (again these thoughts and realities don’t always come out until well after the event/incident/accident) … is that I have rubbed wheels on one other occasion. It was a TS Sunday social road ride with Joe B in front and Todd Hallett behind … and yes, again I was...

Yep - I learned from that …

How about with this string we can offer personal examples (no names other than your own please) of incidents or even accidents that tought us something. Here, I’ll go first: A few Tuesdays ago during our A2 ride of the boxes, I overlapped wheels with a “new to me” rider (sorry - honestly can’t remem...

THANK YOU TRIPLESHOT!!

In yet another example (just the latest) of TSers coming to the rescue, after only 24 hours of my posting an ask for a 56 road bike for my nephew travelling from back east to do the Whistler GF with his proud uncle - a bit of a last hurrah before he becomes a Dad, Tripleshot members more than rose t...

56 cm Road bike needed for WGF Pls/Thx

One of my nephews is coming west to ride Whistler GF with his uncle. All my frames would be too small for him. He’s currently riding a pretty old likely mid-range aluminum bike so pretty confident anything a TSer might have available (as a rental, loan, demo) would be an upgrade for him. If appropri...

Absolutely love this quote:

all sorts of family fun that will exemplify the unapologetic Canadian hospitality in its most apologizing of ways! 🤣
Can’t wait to hear about the routes. Exciting to think we may have a bit of home-ice advantage 🤩

Paceline “How-To” Videos … ?

We’ve all searched the internet for this stuff. Here are a few I found this morning. Maybe eventually we can “adopt” a few that really speak to our most common scenarios though. Before watching them, I think it might be important to agree that in most or all of these, we’re watching “A-level” riders...
