WE WILL NOW BE DEPARTING AT 7:00am INSTEAD OF 7:30am. SAME START POINT.

A few of us are planning on doing another long, slow, distance ride this Sunday. Last week it was Methchosin and East Sooke Park, this week it will be Lands End Road.

We'll depart right after the regular Sunday group from Fairfield Starbucks at 7:30am. Instead of turning right at Island View we'll continue on to Sidney and Lands End, stopping at the Co-op at W Saanich and Birch, then down across the airport to East Saanich Rd and Wallace, and then home. It's about 85km and according to Barton "It's about as flat as it gets."

Jill...it's me. The guy you drop whenever you get on the front on the Tuesday and Friday C-rides. Does that help? :wink:

Seriously though, slow can be defined as being the opposite of fast. And if that doesn't help, I imagine we'll average 26-27km/h.
