Hi Barton,
Thanks for the hilly, winding route for the first 75ish km. I hope the wind didn't knock you off Land's End .... man it was windy at the lagoon at 7:30! I escorted our new friend from Stanwood, Washington back to the Empress ..... I'm pretty sure he enjoyed the ride and earned his lunch. I invited him to join us on a 6am ride any time he is back in Canada but he just looked at me funny.
Hope you got in the rest of your km.
See you Tuesday!
Andrew

Yup, got in the rest of the distance. At one point near 90 K I really thought of packing it in! But I kept going. Did the 2nd half quicker than the first half by 2 minutes with only a little less elevation gain. I really dug in and pushed hard from Lands End down West Saanich. There are a lot of crazy rollers and hills on that road! 153 K and just a few meters shy of 1,500 m elevation.
I am sure that some Saturday between now and July there will be no wind and I will have company for the whole ride!
It was good meeting James. I hope you gave a good run for his time on the way back. I know he was itching to pick up the pace!
