HERES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The Convoy: We're bringing basic traffic control, radios and spotters. You're bringing cars and skaters and food for the day. We're bombing at least 10 sweet hills ranging from butter smooth 5km long to short and gnar with nutty pavement.

Take the 7 or 9 ferry from Tsawassen to Swartz Bay. Meet at broadmead shopping center in royal oak. We are leaving at 12:00 SHARP that should be lots of time to get there. Here's a map.

You need to bring a driver for your vehicle, legal seats for all your skaters, food and drink for the day, a full tank of gas. This is very important there will not be a service station for a couple hundred km. All these things can be aquired in victoria before we roll out if you have to.

We should arrive at the campground in time to get a rippin' bonfire going and get a good nights rest before SOMETHING FISHY HAPPENS.
