A couple of us are meeting at Pareto (Fort & Richmond) and leaving at 6 a.m. sharp to make switchbridge by 6:15 and continue on to OBB Westshore with a little time to spare before 7.

"Please specify your transportation needs when you register so that we know how many buses to have waiting."

Just a reminder to those needing the bus back from Cowichan: if you have not already signed up for the bus ride back, do it Saturday so Kim knows how many seats to have booked. There's no extra charge and it's a long extra 100k if you have not made other ride arrangements back to Victoria.

"Alternatively, adventurous riders can take the opportunity to ride back to Victoria on their own." 8)

I'm in. Paid the money and everything. And I'd like to come back via the Mill Bay ferry - but I'll have to see what the legs say (they'll probably say 'no' on arrival at the Lake, and 'Ok, maybe' after the BBQ). See you at Pareto at 6, Rolf, and whoever else wants to show up there.

If the weather is as predicted it should be a sweatfest on the last climb to the lake (at midday!) - hope they have a TdF-style water car on the route...

Supplementary after Peter's post re the Switch Bridge - I guess that would make it 5:45 at Pareto, huh Rolf? Looks like we'll need to bring lights for the first leg.

Okay, 5:45 Pareto, 6:00 swidgebritch. A leisurely coffee before Le Grand Départ would be great... :)
