Ambassadors Ride
Hey Folks,
Wayne had a fantastic idea this morning. With everyone spread throughout the various neighbourhoods of Victoria, each of us is in a unique position to know all the fun trails, connectors, strange obstacles of their 'hood. We were thinking it would be fun to string these together into a CX Ambassodors Ride of sorts where we all take turns leading the crew through some new features.
Any interest in this? If so, reply with your name and neighbourhood. We'll then try to string them together into a cohesive Friday morning ride. I'll start (multiple Ambassodors per neighbourhood okay):
Rockland
Ron
Gonzales
Ron
Fairfield
?
Oakbay

Has anyone yet discovered the Oak Bay toilet trail? I'm sure Rolf must know this one.

Re: Ambassadors Ride
Naturally these would all be on officially approved cycling paths, especially if ridden wearing TSC kit. Correct?

Yes, a blood oath to always provoke nosey parker roadies who stray onto our sub-forum with non sequitur accusations of implied wrongdoing.
This list is getting pretty great!

Re: Ambassadors Ride
I'm lovin' the enthusiasm!
Some thoughts:
* We can't do all neighborhoods in one ride. So multiple rides?
* Let's aim to string 2 or 3 neighbourhoods together to make a 1.5 hour ride
* Shall we finish in a coffee shop in the last neighbourhood we visit too?
* The neighbourhoods should connect (duh!).
* First three neighbourhood suggestions? (I propose Rockland/Gonzales, Fairfield, and James Bay)
* First Ambassador Ride: Friday, Sept 6th?
* Absolutely add your name to the list even if someone is already marked for that neighbourhood!!!
* Definitely go out in advance and explore your neighbourhood to validate any new ideas

Re: Ambassadors Ride
Let's postpone this a week shall we? I've heard there is another ride theme for Friday and I am still out of commission
