Hopefully some Crossers are dressing this Sunday (with the long weekend and all). 7:30 Fairbucks. In lieu of other grand schemes, I was thinking of exploring Thetis with the idea of looping through Electric Avenue/Line a few times. Good CX technical practice. If you feel a bit nervous about that trail there is a powerline bypass IIRC. Hitting Millhouse would be lovely too. I'll post a more official route.

Can’t make this ride due to Rob Brittons last ride, hopefully we cross paths out there! Have a ripper!

Here is a ride idea. I'm not a big fan of out-and-back so we'll meander our way into Thetis for a nice loop. Sub 50km so I think this is a manageable ride for the time frame.

P.S. I consulted with a previous Prime Minister and he says this ride is legit!
P.P.S. Have a good ride Dave!

Oh it’s legit route, all right.
But is it TOO legit?
Is it, in fact,
??

Looks like a gooder!
Nice to know we have permission to cross Farmer Bill’s private land from Highland Rd. to Westoby(?) It used to be that using that trail put the CrossFondo (and their fundraising program) in jeopardy...

Oh shoot! The heatmaps made it look good. I trust the Cross Father will help us circumnavigate that...
L3, let us know where to join you.

It's so hard to avoid that Barker/Westoby paved east-west, but c'est la vie!
(Heatmaps will show activity from sanctioned events that have enjoyed time-limited (but heavy!) use of said verboten trail.)

Never trust a Prime Minister!

And with a new toy to boot!
I'll head to starbucks early for a quick coffee and bite to eat (low on groceries) if any others are inclined. Probably there at 7:00.

I haven’t looked at the map but assume switch bridge will work. I’ll be there for 7:50.
Cheers!

Check the map! We are not coming through switch bridge but actually into your neck-of-the-woods up lochside.

Louise: Ron has us coming north via Fernwood and Cedar Hill Golf Course instead. How about you aim for 7:50 at Fairlane and Queensbury, ie. where we usually exit the golf course, at the northwest corner... I texted you a pin drop.
