Buttle Lake

Two rides today: 

Choose a Ride to Buckley Bay where 8 hardy cyclists, joined by Stella along the way, battled the heat elements for the appx 45 km return traverse from Filberg Lodge along 19A Oceanside, succeeding through the ever ready leadership of Steve Allen, arriving at the Buckly Bay coffee shop just in time to see John and Evelyn who had arrived just prior along the Inland Highway.
The trip, collegiality, coffee and overall cycle was made particularly pleasant due to the location allowing us a shady return to Courtenay environs along the west side of 19A.!

Buttle Lake/Myra Falls

10 people left from Elk Portal and cycled to Myra Falls and back…about 75 km.  Starting temperature was 19c and the ride to the mine was very comfortable.  Returning was a different story and by the time they  got back to the parking lot it was 35c. The last 15 km was brutal….even the wind was hot!  A number of people stopped on the way back and cooled off in the lake.  Thanks to Rhonda for coordinating.
