The forecast for today, January 6, 2015 was for fog, no rain with the sun putting in an appearance mid-morning. Two out of three ain't bad. The sun that Norm promised did not come through the fog whilst we were on the trail.

Four hardy souls [Jim, David, Tom & Norm L] had an enjoyable ride going at a reasonable clip.

The ride started at Hatley Memorial Gardens following the Goose to Mechosin. There were concerns that the trail would be water-logged or even flooded given the amount of rain we have endured in recent days. However, the CRD has done a superb job of trail maintenance - the Trail was in excellent condition - it was firm and eminently cyclable - no need for mud tires! There were only two or three spots where there were puddles, but they were no more than 2 square meters.

Over coffee, there some discussion on doing sections of the Tour de Victoria route over the next few weeks, but there are challenges to doing that given the nature of some of the roads. Clearly, this will need further discussion.
