The news is slowly sinking in. We’re entering another period of separation. And it could be a while before we ride alongside our Tripleshot friends again — never mind sit down for a coffee and some chitchat!
During our hiatus in the Spring, I dredged the Club archives and posted a Tripleshot photo on the forum, every day at noon. This kept us focused on the good times awaiting. It also reminded us of all the good people we get to call our Clubmates, and the great things they’re doing with their lives. You can still look through those daily photos here (all three-months-and-a-day’s worth!): www.tripleshotcycling.ca/forum/viewtopi ... =19&t=9090.
This time around, the Club is better prepared to help you stay connected — even though group rides are off the menu. Our social media platforms are brimming with content and will continue to feed you images, video, and commentary by and about your fellow cyclists.
Just this morning we featured a fun collection of dawn photos from ten different locations around Victoria and up-Island, taken by seven different members within a one-hour period. I didn’t realize at the time it would be a prescient demonstration of how we can still remain connected, despite being physically apart.

Maybe up to now social media hasn’t been your bag. Maybe you associate it with zombified teenagers and the erosion of genuine human connection. But maybe now is the time to give it a chance.
