The SaltSpring Inn will be a new place for a 3F ride brunch.Their menu is online.

The group Mark and I do the 3F ride with goes to Barbs Buns,which is closed on Victoria day.
We will phone from SSI Ferry to let Saltspring Inn know how many people are in our group.

It would be good to all stay togethar until at least Crofton. You could get lost on SSI as we don't take the main road to Ganges.
Also ....there are a number of turns riding to Mill Bay...if we split and you go the wrong way , find the highway to Mill Bay.

We expect 10 to 20 riders.
See you Monday.

Hello organizers (Paul, and Mark),

Great day all around! Big thanks to Paul, and Mark for all organization. Hot, hilly, and excellent! And thank you Mikael Jansson for your flat tire expertise!

Thanks to the 16 Tripleshot cyclists who had FUN on the 3F ride. About 140km...7am to 5pm.

Very hot and sunny. Only 5 flats.
Great breakfast at SSI Inn.
Cowichan Bay bakery was a treat for some of us....and beer at Brentwood Bay pub was a refreshing reward for others.

Thanks to Mark Ford for your organizational help and to SSI Garth for navigational help.
