Sunday ride extra distance

Post by Kevin F »

Just an FYI if anyone is interested in a few extra KMS on the normal ride I am planning on heading past the farm at Island View out to through Sydney and loop around the ferry terminal. It will likely cut into my coffee time but I need the extra KMS.

PS bring you sun screen :)

Just a note of warning on road conditions. If things tomorrow are anything like today you have to be extra careful of ice. Things were generally fine along the water--Dylan, Greg and I braving the Sufferfest conditions of cold and wind-- but once we looped around the ferry terminal and started coming back on West Saanich Road, it was a skating rink out there. No one went down but we were sure it was just our good karma that kept us all upright.
If you're going long you may want to come back on the coastal roads, as they're likely to be safer.

My usual Saturday morning (family/swimming etc) stuff kept me off the roads until just after 7. By that time, the only problem area heading north was Blenkinsop, and by the time I turned around through land's end, it was wet, but fine, heading back to town. Should be fine tomorrow. I am sitting at the end of a swim line for 5 hours, stop watch in hand getting splashed. :D

Or, you could come ride with the Oak Bay High school group at 2:00, Hartland.

I'll be pruning fruit trees and changing the oil in the beast tomorrow afternoon!

I'd rather be riding!
