Hello there--I heard about you on CBC Radio One. I was once a road racer, and dreamt of competing in Europe. Your ride beats the Tour de France. I'd like to accompany you from Vancouver to Delta on Saturday 21 July. This ride is just my speed, both physically and politically. Out of Afghanistan, into Kyoto!
I don't have a photo to upload until I load my camera with fresh batteries, but I'd rather spend the money on antlers for my commuter bike. My road bike is in the shop, so I can't rely on its readiness. I'll try to bring my family along (wife and two boys) from Trout Lake to Moody Park.
I must congratulate you for picking the Central Valley ride, since the start and end points are accessible by Skytrain. Since bikes are permitted on the train all weekend, riders need not travel more than a couple of kilometres from Moody Park to one of two stations in downtown New Westminster to get home. This works for me very well because my family will be able to take the train back home instead of relying on a car ride to shlep the bikes home... I think of the silliness of driving our family car from Vancouver to New West at 5 am, then coming home, preparing the bikes and then riding out to New West.
Thanks for being here!
