Three brave souls (Doug, John and Jack) gathered at Royal Roads U with clearing skies and no rain. The track was full of puddles, mud and wet leaves but quite passable and all participants had good fenders to deflect spray from the wheels. The soft track made the ride more energetic than usual which slowed the speed somewhat. Issues of dealing with expensive (non revenue producing) projects in deep space, deep sea and high radiation fields were explored extensively over coffee at the broken paddle. It was determined that such expensive projects really are a lot of fun! The ride back was dry and uneventful – washing of cloths and bikes will be required.
