Sunday, June 2 Willis Pt Slogfest

[schouten]

After all this fun technical single track I plan on tracking Willis Pt and heading all the way down Mckenzie Bight trail just to come back up. I'll post a more detailed ride plan soon if anyone wants to suffer with me. Alternative plans welcome.

Hey Ron
I won’t be able to join but take a quick look at the Ironman course to make sure your route doesn’t cross theirs - early on there’s gaps then it quickly becomes quite a torrent of aerodynamic carbon to cross.

Thanks for the tip Greg. I have a "finely crafted" ride planned:

I'll check it against the Ironman course (I had no idea!!)

Looks like the collisions should be minimal, since the Ironman starts at 10:00am. But I'll shove off at 6:30am as this is a longer ride too. Post if you wanna come!

Pender bender, Ron. Presently being talked out of setting off for Thetis by SUP.

Have the good ride!

I'd talk you out of that paddle too...

[Greg F]

Based on a hunch, I’d talk you out of paddling from North Pender to South Pender.

Rolf, I hope that A, they talked you of that, or B you did it and have a hell of a story to tell.

Greg, you were right about the Ironman. A few times I waited for the wall of carbon to pass. At one time I cycled with some of them and had photos taken of me.
