Well, the build continues. Planning on leaving Disco on Disco at 7 AM Sharp! Last week with Steve Lund and Fozzy's help with some strong pulls from Doug we managed just under 28 K/Hr. Doesn't sound that quick but just ask Fozzy what it feels like after we hit 90 to 100 K and still have more than an hour to go! These are great base Ks that will really pay off come spring.
Saturday Feb 6 will be a day off for me; I'll be out of town for a few days. Check with Doug to see what is happening.
Here is the route for Jan 31. Please let me know if you cannot view the map:

Likewise, plan on hooking up for the first part. Sorry, not ready yet for 140 k.

I'm at 1,997 km for January and tomorrow's my last chance to hit my 2k target. So I'll join you for the first 3 km and then play it by ear after that.

Sylvan, what happened? Well, I hope you slept well!
11 of us thru to Goose and Burnside. 6 to West Saanich. 3 from there, Marcus, Doug S & I. Stephan and Blair went on ahead.
By 105, 110 K I was almost ready to pull the plug but kept saying "Just Finish!". We lost Marcus around this point, a dropped power bar, traffic, lights etc. Sorry Marcus! Doug and I from Royal Oak and Lochside. I am so glad to be resting after this coming Thursday! That was one friggin' tough ride!
Looking forward to 160 Feb 14. Does anyone want to post a route? Something sort of flat? The plan is to keep things kind of flat until early April then start adding some elevation to the distance (140 K one weekend, 160 the next).
Cheers!

Here is the Peninsula Wiggly Worm 200km(Ken Bonner - BC randonneurs).
It goes up and down the peninsula and is relatively flat, cut whatever you want to make it 160km
