Nine riders enjoyed the sweet sights, sounds and smells of 66.5 km of dirt and 12.5 km of pavement between Thetis Lake and Sooke Potholes parks. Two riders even chose a 100 km option which also took them along the urban (and paved) section of the Galloping Goose Trail system into the city of Victoria.
We had a gorgeous day, allowing everyone to make good time on this gorgeous route. Also, we saw great bike-handling by everyone--I'm pretty sure all the dust you were wearing got there through the air!
All ride and post-ride paperwork was handled with ease, although there was some controversy regarding some sauteed mushrooms.
I hope to see you at the next running of what should prove to be a growing
event! Expect to see more publicity in 2002 and more riders taking part.
Everyone should give the Galloping Goose Trail a try!
