4 years agoAny more. We rode the highway into Victoria for years before the Lochside trail was built. It's not that bad thanks to the wide shoulder. But the Lochside trail is much more pleasant. When it finally opened, our kids were old enough to cycle it, though one was still on the Trail-a-Bike.
4 years agoYup, both events were BBQ’s (there’s a photo of Bruce slaving over the grill in his backyard in the journal entry I linked). So ours this weekend was the largest, but not the first.
4 years agoI would be glad to correct any inaccuracies - but just to be sure - are you claiming that the Portland meet up was actually a "BBQ"? You can't get more BBQ than ribs, as in Victoria, eh?
4 years agoHi Steve,
Nicely done, and a new record to boot. You would find France a bit difficult just now. The temp. here in burgundy is set to hit 40!
From your riding clothes, I take it your weather is more pleasant.
Cheers,
Keith
Very nice reporting, Steve, but for one small but important inaccuracy. I think it’s important to point out that this was NOT the first CycleBlaze BBQ - just the largest. The first, as far as I know, was the meeting of the HAC group at Bruce and Andrea’s home last summer: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/dubrovnik2018/transitions/. Eight CBers were in attendance: Bruce and Andrea, the Grumbys (just returning from their reknowned Undaunted Porridge tour), the Arnims, and ourselves. If I’m remembering correctly, that was actually a larger event, because I think Kat and Willie Wier were also in attendance, as well as young Juniper Arnim and Willie and Kat’s dog. Only 8 actual CBers though.
4 years agoWow, that must have been a wonderful meet-up. Thanks for the report. Wish I could have been there.

Very nice reporting of your journey to attend this historic CycleBlaze event, Steve. I just wanted to also point out (for the CycleBlaze archives) that our gathering was a surprise celebration for the Grumby's who were finishing their journey, Undaunted Porridge, at our house. We were all waiting for them on our front porch and popped a cork upon seeing them round the corner. Isn't this the way every epic bike trip should end? I might also point out that Jeff and Kristen started their longest and first trip together at our house. Also, that CycleBlaze was born in our house while Andrea and I were cycling in Asia and Jeff and Kristen were house/cat sitting for us.
