Hi Gang! Anyone want to get out into the sunshine and go for a ride
today? If so, what time?

Yes! Anytime. But I just saw that there might be a thunder storm this
afternoon. So earlier is better...

Hey guys. How about 1:00? May beat the storm.

For me it's too early. The wife is cooking up something for lunch at 12:00.

I'm not up on where the good rides are but I'm sure Keegan has many in his repertoire. Meeting same place as last time or anywhere else is fine with me.

haha! My repertoire is coming along, but thankfully there is still plenty of roads left for me to explore! Which way is the storm coming from? If from the North we can go down into cedar - a place that I haven't spent much time riding through but have heard there is some pretty nice spots. If the storm comes from the South we can take the Brannen Lake loop which goes through some pretty nice country. Meeting spot? The same place works for me. A coffee or tea before the ride would be nice but if we don't have much time I'm ready to go at 1:00.

Excellent. see you guys at 1:00. My default ride has been from where I live  down Haliburton to the Rona. I wouldn't mind exploring further south but not sure how the roads go off the highway. It looks black to the south but we could play it by ear when we meet. All's good!

 Southbound sounds great!

Since we're going South we may as well meet near Old Victoria and then
go down to Extension Rd. The are some nice roads down that way. Is
there a cafe near Farquhar and Victoria that we could meet at?

I dont know of any cafes in this area. Also, the clouds are coming
from the south... maybe we could stick to our original meeting place
and go from there.

Just the McDonalds on Nichol. We could meet there. That cloud still looks black but I think it's slowly moving off.

Hot Chai may be best, it's definitely looking better to the north.

Great ride guys!! Couldn't have had a better time! And the chill down
at the Longwood was well needed. Great time guys.

If you get a chance Keith could you see if you have a tall quill stem.
Thank you.

Enjoyed the ride immensely, well with the possible exception of that last hill from Lantzville. I'll have a look for a long stem Keegan. By the way, having a brain cramp, did you want a photo downloaded to Hub City or Nanaimosinglespeed?

Haha! The exaggerated american accents get me every time. Glad you
liked it.
