Once upon a time, there was a young newlywed couple who liked to tip back the occasional celebratory pint after a good run. She was from the old country where beer was an integral part of life and most meals. He was from "back east" where beer was what you drank by the tray-load at 50-cents a glass, but had traveled and studied the ways of the Trappiste monks in the old country.

This is a trail run on a trail which many of you have run past but few probably know called the Lower Elsay Trail. It will take an average of probably around 6-8 hours. The trail is well marked aside from the entrance, with tree tags. In general keep cutting across many creeks and gulleys around the same altitude, and do not head towards the water unless you are sure you are on the Lower Elsay Trail.

I'm new to the club so this is my first flash event.

Plan is to leave Vancouver around 6am. We can drive to the trailhead, or if people feel ambitious we can bike there and lock our bikes up in the forest. Use the new trail up to Deeks lakes, bag a peak or two, run into snow, get lost, get found, finish at Cypress, retrieve bikes (if applicable), carbo-hyrate with chilled frothy beverages at a pub.

Come prepared for snow (atleast mentally).

I expect we'll be in the 8-12 hour range.

Prerunning the Sunshine in September course (yet again!) to make sure directions are correct and that I can manage the entire distance. Anyone want to join us?

If you've been watching the event calendar, you likely know that the Sunshine In September event is scheduled for the first weekend in September. You may have also noticed that we held a Flash recon run of the course to fine-tune directions back in June. But, since I have yet to stay on course or finish the entire distance, I feel the need to try this one more time before the official event.

Hi gang!

Since I'm in Victoria visiting here for New Years I know I'll miss the FA 50k in Vancouver. To start the year off right I wanted to run 50k to get my ultra year started right!

Starting from Shellbourne and San Juan street in Saanich I plan to run along the Cordova Bay Rd South, Beach Rd, King George, Dallas Rd to Beacon Hill park to mile 'zero'. That's appox 21k. Turn around and head back. Join my family for a 8k loop to complete the 50k.

Short notice but sign up if you're interested.

Happy New Year!
