In the relentless pursuit of excellence...

Strava has been improved by moving previously free features behind a paywall.

Re: Wanted: Family home to rent

Thank you for the replies. I'll forward to Luiz for follow-up.

Mike; I'll get confirmation on their budget and tenure.

Have a good weekend!

Wanted: Family home to rent

My colleague is moving to Victoria from Brazil in June with his family. He's looking for a rental home that is close (reasonable walking distance) from an elementary school. 3 bedrooms and a yard are on his wish list. If you or anyone you know is looking for a responsible, professional family tenant...

Please tell me it's the killer bacon that blew Dolly and Alan's minds and not a previously unreported symptom of one-nine-CX-variant.

Re: Hell of the North

Definitely need a herd of angry protesters blocking and grabbing riders and hollering in French at Cross on the Rocks next year! That blew my mind. Great drone footage too!

Re: Dream Ride

No offense Ron, but your "dream" ride sounds like a regular old Sunday in the saddle. Here's mine: I wake up super early and it's soooo dark I can't see anything. I turn on the lights and nothing happens. Must be a black-out from the tornado last night. It's hard to get dressed in the dark...

when is a ride a "group ride"?

Things are changing really fast on the Covid front. Sad (but not bad) to see Tripleshot aligning with the majority of organizers in suspending activities with the word "group" in them. Things are serious; people who know actual stuff keep telling me that and I believe them. These are not n...

Re: March 22 - Snoozfest

Thank you Ron, for the inspiring ideas! Since I wasn't able to join Sunday's ride last week, it'll make good inspiration for this week. I can see an argument for skipping coffee (and might supply that argument), but I'm not seeing a plague risk to tearing around on a bicycle in the woods. Seems much...

Re: Sunday, March 22 - sheilds lake coffee

I'm committed to build our hotly-anticipated bike storage facility (garden shed) this weekend and can't do an epic. I'm up for a normal ride...

Just in case you didn't get the memo, I'll be having my coffee on the drive to Bowser while you're all riding this weekend. Have fun!

WTB (borrow) - small women's road bike

This is a request for the women of tripleshot of smaller stature. Please read below and reply, pm, or text me at 604-720-7955 if you can help. My wife, Ting, has expressed cautious interest in joining the tripleshot women's clinic this spring. I have been encouraging this, against my better judgemen...

Re: Non-Bike Question about Kids Summer Programs and English Learning

Have a look at the Victoria summer activity guide. There are many activity based summer camps that are age appropriate and would give her social time with peers. She'd probably make some friends.
