Just a heads up for the Sunshine Coast ride this Sunday. We are planning on meeting at 10:45 at the Robert's Creek Equestrian Center. To do that, you need to be on the 9:40am ferry out of Horshoe Bay to Langdale at the latest. There are reservations available for this ferry so book one if you can't be there early. Please remember that if you book a reservation, you must be there at least 30 minutes ahead of the sailing.

On Sunday evening, there are no reservations available for the 3:25, 4:45, 5:30 and 6:55 sailings. If you need to make one of those ferries, plan on being there early.

On google it shows up as Largo Road. It is also known as the B&K. Look for the Equestrian Center sign on the right.

Hi Mike or anyone that knows, it looks like the meeting area is about 10k from the ferry. Does the xc ride start far away from the meeting point? I am contemplating just riding so I don't have to worry about reservations. Am I off my rocker? (again?)

All rides are meeting at the equestrian center. People do ride there from the ferry and get there close to the same time: bikes are off the ferry before the cars. Hopefully somebody who has actually done that can chime in with there opinion.

FYI...

It's 15.2 km from the ferry terminal to Robert's Creek Equestrian Centre (about 15 minute drive).  There is a big hill to climb from the ferry terminal.

The Lions Club has $5/day parking on the Horseshoe Bay side by the Gleneagles CC on Marine Drive in West Van here... if there's room left:
