More Summer!
A second summer newsletter, you ask? Why, yes, there’s just too much going on to keep quiet! In this issue, read the final chapter of M’Ashby’s Taiwanese sojourn, follow along on a Kootenay adventure, read a tale of woe and one of victory, and learn what’s coming up for our members.
Summer Has Landed
In May, we had our first special club ride of the year: Just shy of 20 riders enjoyed the beautiful Three Ferries ride in perfect weather. Coming up in June is another Flagpole Coffee and the Silly Solstice Century around Beacon Hill Park. Read to the end for more event listings, and on your way there, don’t miss member stories about riding abroad and racing closer to home.
Spring Springs Eternal
Welcome to spring! Notwithstanding the proliferation of hayfever-inducing pollen in the air, more and more people are enjoying longer and daylight-ier bike rides. Last week alone, more than 20 people joined Tripleshot or renewed lapsed memberships. In this newsletter, read about a member’s year-long sojourn in Taiwan, find out what your board of directors has been up to, take a deeper dive into the membership survey results, and find the dates for all our 2026 seasonal club rides (the Big Loop and more).
Blooming trees, chirping birds
This might have been the winter edition but, despite what the calendar says, many rides are happening in sunshine, and our 6am rides are already ending in daylight. Spring birdsong in February? Strange and perhaps unsettling (summertime fire risk, anyone?) but undeniably pleasant for riding bikes. Read on for tales of club-member travels, our gravel-ride origins, and news from the kit store, the member survey, and the Youth Program.
