We had a whopping 2 dozen plus riders out on what started out as a sunny day. Unfortunately, we were overwhelmed by a wall of grey rain. (cue Death Star music) It was a cold, sleety sort of kryptonite that drove away a dozen riders at various points of the ride. A majority completed the whole ride, and made it to the dosa restaurant. Many thanks to Marty and Toby for helping Leticia repair her flat on the Kent Ave stretch. Toby got a ribbing even though it wasn’t his flat. Sigh! Thanks also to Faye for the great photos. We look drier than we actually are. Colin’s paper dosa was like something out of a fish tale: I ate a dosa THIS BIG! A big welcome to Jordi who came on his first VBC ride.
The weather’s been sabotaging many of our rides this winter. Let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst. The camaraderie is always welcome.
Sorry to hear about your pedal, Michael. Hopefully we’ll see you both again soon.
This year’s 2023 dosa ride did not have 2 dozen riders, but it was still a good turn out for a winter ride. Nice weather for quick burn around the Fraser River and topped off with some good food! The improvements to the trail on the Fraser Foreshore Park are great now that they’re root-free, and thanks to Colin and Dorothy for showing us the new Kent Ave paved multi-use path.
