112kms. UNEXPECTED!! It all started with Minda showing up at 6:50am with COFFEE BIKE (THUMBS UP!). Seems like a great idea...until it gets all over your frame instead of your mouth (THUMBS DOWN). After a quick bike wash at Trek, we THOUGHT we were going to Cowichan yesterday, but thanks to a FERRY FAIL at Brentwood Bay(THUMBS DOWN), we ended up heading for Sidney and hopping on the boat to SALTSPRING ISLAND (THUMBS UP!). Thanks to LINDA, we went through all the back roads where there was very little traffic and grabbed lunch in Ganges at the market (THUMBS UP!). Linda bought plums and we couldn't eat them all (THUMBS DOWN) but Minda brought a BACKPACK and carried them home(THUMBS UP!) On the way back on the ferry, we were happy (THUMBS UP) but tired (THUMBS DOWN), but luckily I was able to stay awake long enough to get photos of Phil and Victoria stretching (THUMBS AND BUMS UP). Now my legs are tired (THUMBS DOWN) but worth it for such a wonderful day.
Also, an extra special welcome back and congrats to PRO CITY SISTAS resident PRO SISTA, MICAL DYCK for being such a big deal and WINNING the Transrockies TR3 race last weekend in Fernie (THUMBS UP!). She is still beating me up the hills...and I just can't understand it. :) xo Robin
Well done, Fast Sistas!! Looks like our group might have a resident massage therapist in Phil. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteSlow Sista Trudi and Carol ( a crazy woman on the downhills) elected to do a shorter route on Saturday in the interest of marital harmony. My husband was unimpressed when I suggested that he could come with us and get in touch with his feminine side. We managed to do a first ascent (for us) of the Munn Road/Ross Durrance loop. We had decided it was much better to try it without an audience, but were distressed to find that a group of three 0% body fat uber cyclists decided we needed cheering on. Aack! At least we didn't have to get off and walk.
See everyone on Tuesday,
Trudi
