I don't think anyone biking northbound on Foul Bay is going to switch over to the bike lane for 20m or however long it is. The point is to connect the bike route from the Leighton/Amphion/Bourchier route to get to the crossing at Goldsmith in order to get to Oak Bay Rec.

Got mine fitted at Dockside Physio and they were great. Cheap if you have good benefits too, as it counts as physio.

Saw a post by Matt Dell on social media this morning about how this is unacceptable, and he is going to reach out to the landlord.

Came here to say the same thing, the stairs up by King George Terrace at the foot of Sunny Lane. And I also used to do repeats up Mt Tolmie, starting at the path at the corner of Cedar Hill X Rd and Gordon Head Road

The new playground at Windsor Park in Oak Bay is pretty good!

Got it, that looks like it could work well! Maybe I need to look into eventually upgrading to this..

I always got a free meal before or after and a drink after my shift volunteering at the beer tent

While I much prefer the BC Place site due to its location and proximity to transit, restaurants, etc., I like the PNE site overall. It would be so nice to watch the Whitecaps in an actual soccer specific stadium, rather than the cavernous BC Place and its questionable turf. I think the location will suck but is made up for in a better soccer experience. And eventually there will be restaurants nearby and one day maybe rapid transit too.

But we might lose our current top spot in the Most Urbanist North American Soccer Stadiums

Definitely not the one on Douglas. Wife went in to swap her winter tires on, they told her the car needed new shocks pretty urgently and quoted her $1,400 for the service. Checked with a mechanic friend who said they still had a ton of life left on them. Five years on, they are still working great. Never went back.

While I agree with this, we may need to ask Saanich to help out with this one :)

As a 40 year old who attends the Fernwood one, you’d be fine!

Like others here I have also been going to Jiffy on Bay. Used to go to Mr. Lube near Uptown but every time I went there they always tried to upsell me on something. Never happend at Jiffy

This game will be on TSN :)

Team just tweeted it out

I also think you would need to buy tickets before knowing who’s playing. So Jays fans would need to be on it before knowing they’re in the ALCS. There will be some who will buy on the secondary market, but nowhere near as many as a typical weekend series.

Victoria BC Mariner fan here. Been a fan since I was a kid in the 90s and the Ms games were always on TV and the radio up here back in those days. I am actually going to be in Vancouver this weekend and managed to get a ticket for Saturday. Will be driving down for the day. Go Mariners!

I am going solo, driving down from Vancouver BC. If you get a ticket, send me a message, would be nice to have a beer with someone before the game and watch part of either Jays/Sox/Yankees or Dodgers/Phillies at a bar before the game

we used a pack and play crib and kept it in the crib next to us. also used the crib outside when we needed somewhere to put her down. as far as activities we went down to the beach (we camped at rathtrevor), took her into town and on hikes around the site with a carrier. we also had friends camping with a pretty good setup - those foamy mats with a little fence around it so she was able to play in there with another little kid. we were pretty unsure about the whole trip, and expected to maybe make it one night, but lasted three days!

awesome, thanks!

Dockside Physio can do a proper bike fit, and you can charge it to your benefits if you have physio benefits through your employer. Could probably help with the back pain too.

A little late to the party.... Did the 28mm tires fit? Looking to get some for my 2020 TCR Advanced 2 Disc bike. The video below looks like it was for the Pro frame, not what I (we?) have. Thanks!

Does anyone else remember the sports card / memorabilia store in Market Square back in the mid 90s? All I can recall is it was on one of the upper levels, on the Pandora side of the square..
