Just signed up, I'm in Victoria, but I'm pretty out of shape. Rode last weekend, great to be out, but only put in 30km. Hope to get better, but that's where I'm starting. Would love to train with a group, so if you are interested email me at reynaudm@hotmail.com

Great to see another Victorian!!! I have done very little riding so far waiting for it be lighter so I can ride to work a little dark at 6am to be on the road. Training with another person would be great some of the time for sure. My email is rsc13@telus.net My schedule is very tight being wbusy with 5 kids but I will be riding sometime just have to find time.

Glad to hear from you and hopefully ride with you soon.

Best of luck with Fundraising

Finally a fellow rider from Victoria doing the ride as well and was worried that i wasnt going to have anyone to train with. Contact me A.S.A.P and we can meet for coffee with other's that want to join and set up some kind of schedule. I work shift work so I will be available as much as I can and get in as much rides as possible. Richard 250-884-7205 or home number 250-590-0915 please leave a message on my home number

I'm riding several times a week and would welcome company. If you're up for it, there is a 100km group ride on Saturday morning, leaving from Oak Bay Bikes (Oak Bay & Foul Bay) at 9am.

If you're looking for something less challenging, I generally go out solo for 1-2 hours on Sunday mornings at an easy pace, also at 9am. If you're in the University or Oak Bay area and would like to join me, let me know.

Hi all, I'm joining the ride late (hopefully not too late to get in shape for June) and I'm in Victoria - is there a group I could join for training rides?

vchura · Newbie

Hi folks,

We have a Team in the West Shore -- JdF Fun Runners on Wheels.

The JdF Fun runners are my run club, and a few of us are participating in the Ride.

We Ride every Sunday - if anyone is interested in coming out to the West Shore.

Happy training everyone.

I am in Colwood. What time do you ride on Sundays?

vchura · Newbie

We will be varying our times - next Sunday we plan to go for 2:00pm ( would have gone today, but the darn weather).

Send me an email, and I can include you in our times we are riding. vchura@shaw.ca

cheers

what is with the weather here in Victoria this sucks, i am hoping that this will subside soon

msasges · Member

What part of Victoria are you in? I'm near the University.

MJ · Newbie

Hi All
I am out in View Royal and would like to join up with a group too. I suck right now, so I guess a ride not heading up the Malahat would be good...I don't mind being left behind as I know everyone is better...

Hi! My name is Scott, and my friend Chris and I recently signed up. We are into trying to find people to ride with too. I am in James Bay, he is in Strawberry Vale. We were planning to do a ride on Friday am. anybody else interested, or any other rides this weekend, or weeknight?

I'm going for a ride on Sunday morning (April 4), rain or shine. My wife will be out training for the TC10k, so I have no excuse!
I'll be in the parking lot behind Oak Bay Bikes at 9am. I'll be coming down from UVIC, so the ride over from James bay will be similar. My plan is to ride for 2 hours, keeping to a conversation-friendly pace.

Hope to see you there.

Mike

DSM · Newbie

Hi Mike! I would definitely be in but unfortunately, I work on Sunday mornings (so does my friend Chris) - Saturday? Or any other days?

Shawn,

I am in Victoria as well (Beaver Lake area). I just signed up for the forum today (Oct 15) and have not explored it much. I registered for the ride awhile ago. I have a new hybrid bicycle which I will be using. My other bike is a mountain bike. Is there a Victoria team organized yet?

I will check this General Discussion board and read over some of the threads.

Ok Victoria the 2011 Ride is over and I have signed up for 2012 year number 4 for me. I don't want to not train like I did for 2011. It wasn't bad but I want to make those hills scream as my quads were this year. So we should try and get some training in for those that are doing it again and it can be nice lite 20k rides now even just to keep our butts ready for the seats lol. I hope you all enjoyed the event a few little areas for improvement but all well worth the cause. So let me know if anyone is interested in getting in a ride now and then.
