Going through a phase right now with road bikes, I’ve been riding around Vancouver every week for an hour, averaging 20km just on the bike routes (arbutus, Cambie, 37, 59) on a Costco road bike. Kind of interested in the RBC Gran Fondo, Medio version. How should I train for this since it’s in a month, and am I crazy?
If you can survive Cypress then you should be able to handle Baker. It's like Cypress 2x, but the grade is very consistent and doesn't really kick up until the end up to Artist Point.
errrrrrrrr you not serious right?
Baker is a 145 km ride (sumas to Baker), last time I checked Cypress was ~14km, it's 2186 m of elevation (Baker) which is not bad but that 145km distance it not at all easy for a lot of people.

My buddy have been riding on a costco bike for months, it's fun.
Start 20km and up it to 30,40,50,60 until you hit 100km.
Also, you should start riding from wherever you are at to Cypress mountain at least twice a week. RBC is fun, a lot of people, and very safe (compared to doing it yourself to whistler). Atmosphere is great and support is amazing. Last year was the WORSE yr to ride just due to constant down pour.
Please complain about it being expensive blah blah blah, well, so is listening to a CD versus a concert.

I was just referencing the actual climb up to Baker...
And factor ~25KM of your total trip is descending as well.
“I know it is common that cyclists do ride two abreast, but the club rules don’t supersede what the law states,” said RCMP Cpl. James Stanviloff.
This is a problem, was driving into Deep Cove the other day. There were a few groups that were riding side by side, and since the road is single lane it was difficult to pass and still leave them with space. Worst yet there were 2 groups that were riding 3 wide taking up the entire lane.
Before you say it was to pass each other they weren't, I tailed them for a few minutes and they were just causally riding with each other.
Anyone have any other tips on getting a good price on a new hydraulic groupset? Right now the best price I found is 1100 from wiggle and or probikekit but unsure if I’m just gonna run into endless duty’s.
this yr wasn't that bad. Last yr was retarded. This yr, it did stop and it poured for 1/2 hr and then stopped. My buddies were on the podium this yr.
A bit of rain at the beginning, but wasn't too bad. Was happy it stopped though.
I helped quite a few people with flats on the way...well, guess I had to, since I was a Ride Marshal. Alex was the overall winner from my club, on loan to Pender. 3:14:39!
anyone looking for a 4iii single side PM for their SISL2 crank arm? I have one on a 170mm arm that I'm looking to trade +cash on your end for your used but in same condition SISL2 NDS crank arm...

Good move. Not much power to measure when you don't ride anymore.
Anyone still riding? (CX perhaps?)
Or anyone want to get some training in at the studio (Hewdog) ?
There is a special next week, only $10 for drop-ins. Hit me up for more info if interested.
Anyone working on their winter projects?
Coming up on the last week of inventory clearout at The Bike Doctor's Retirement sale. Yes, no high end parts, but perhaps you're looking for tools, lube, etc.
Also, Ace Cycles in Kits is closing out soon, maybe some deals to be had there.
And tonight is MEC Club Night, so 10% off regular priced items, from 7pm-9pm.
