Maybe a couple of fast UVic Alumni chip-trail loops followed by a poke about the grounds of our new Leftenant Governor ("Jane with a T" Austin, OBE) on the way to coffee? Other ideas?

Can you see any sweet new trails from up there, Johnny Tyre?

Only if you want to protect yourself from splashback.

Planning to join you for the ride out to UVic but will continue on to Ten Mile Point, Mystic Vale etc. If all goes according to plan. See you dark and early!

Are you softening, Rolf? This is all I got from you and Wonger after my first TSCX ride,
