Cross Ride

[wonger]

Hey there - who's up for a cross ride or two? It's about that time of year to get the knobbies on and have some fun. Thinking Tuesday Sept 5th to get this rolling, and again Friday Sept. 8th. Bring a good light, usual meeting spot at 6:00 am, roll out at 6:05. See you there!

Road bikes, off-road, at night—the funnest TS rides you'll ever enjoy.

Some highlights from last season:


Forest trails...

Willows Beach...


Woohoo!

This might help me with the end of summer depression! Can't make Tuesday (first day of school and all that...) but one of us will be out Friday!

[Ann]

A few of us (6 so far, I think) are meeting at the switch bridge at 8 am tomorrow for a cross ride. Let me know if you are planning to join so we know to wait for you.

See you Tuesday morning.

I will be there at 6:00 on Tuesday. Ready to go full turtle on the sand again

[wonger]

Hope you guys had fun. Little glitch for us this morning.

Friday though, Friday will be awesome! Thinking more of a skills ride since there is a race in Monday. See you there!

Cross wheels are ON and I guess I'm committed to the season.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will catch a ride up Shelbourne with the Farm Team before bidding them adieu and getting reacquainted with various alternate routes to coffee in Cook Street Village.

All you need are good lights, knobbly rubber and a sense of adventure...

Only one more sleep till my first cross ride of the season! Who's coming? Alan Cassels you've been talking a good game - do you have your knobbies on yet?

[LouiseF]

I'll be there.

Got my cross bike all ready last night, took it for a shake down spin and figured out I need brakes! Sorry I didn't make this AM- it looked perfect with the fog and ground that is actually wet. See you on Sunday (those doing COTR).

Did anyone pick up my water bottle this morning? I forgot that it was being used as a course-marker when I left early.

Fun ride!

I think John T has it.

I pushed it into a cage on Geoff's bike (at coffee - he might not realize it's there) - thought it was Mandy's.

Soooooper ride this morning! Thanks everyone for coming out. Martin I have your bottle. Okay to return it to you Tuesday morning on the next ride?

[wonger]

Great to see so many Tripleshotters out at Topaz yesterday killing it in the sunshine! Tomorrow morning I was thinking we should hit the beaches in anticipation of the Ladysmith race this weekend. Transfer Beach is one of the best venues for the year with two stretches of beach riding as well as a sand volleyball court.

6:00 am, good lights, positive vibes!

[Rolf]

Likely can't make Tuesday, Geoff. But I'll be doing another cross ride starting out with the Farm Team on Wednesday morning. Have fun hitting the sand!

[LouiseF]

I'll be there Geoff.
