Tour de Thetis

Just a reminder that the Tour is planned for Saturday, February 12, 9.30 a.m. starting from the community hall.

The full route includes, in order, visits to the ends of North Cove, Forbes, Bella Vista (via Foster Point), Sunrise Point, Pilkey Point roads, and a return to the community hall. 

Because this is decidedly not a race or subject to any regulations or expectations, please feel free to deviate for any reason. For example, Sunrise Point Road is particularly steep, so you might want to give it a pass.

It's most unlikely all riders will finish the course at the same time and early finishers (the e-bikers!) may not want to wait around for the rest of us, so the best chance for socializing is before we start. If you want, please bring your own nourishment.

You might want to check out the Go By Bike website. It's Winter Go By Bike Week next week. We are registered as Team Thetis and will send along our total 'mileage'. The course is approximately 30 km; we will try for a precise measure on the day.

Questions or comments? Contact me or Fred Clark.

Thanks

Dave

Is there an Island harmonica aficionado that would have the patience to provide a few lessons to the musically hopeless?
