OK, it’s not quite #Sundance, but our own #SaltSpring Film Festival is packed with great films and thought-provoking experiences. Only time for a half day this year; we’ll plan better for next year.

Can I add #Saltspring Island to the list of deadly places to ride a bike? Just brutal. 16-20% grades up/down tight curved roads with zero shoulder and giant trucks speeding. Don’t ride here, it’s not worth it.

Weird blanket request into the void (i do have some people i intend to ask tomorrow as well), but if there are any #saltspring people here checking that tag, do any of you know Jason Webster? Trying to reconnect/catch up/heal/etc with my old besties, and he's my white whale. Tell him Evin says hey 🧡

Today's workout: 67km ride with 2150m of ascent that made Thursday’s 120km ride seem easy. The hardest 30km was on gravel with 1300m of ascent. The gravel roads were full of potholes, much of it with a cobblestone texture. Great to look down and see hills that used to be tough.

Clipping from the weekly Gulf Islands Driftwood newspaper - text reads as follows: “GISS is the tournament hub, with food vendors, beer garden and where the final games on Monday are held. The schedule can be found on the tournament’s Facebook page. No dogs are allowed at the Porlock Park field. Leashed dogs (and the tournament’s usual baby goats) are allowed at other fields.”
I love living on #SaltSpring 😄 Rules for spectators at the annual May long weekend soccer tournament include the words “the tournament’s usual baby goats” #BabyGoats #IslandLife

In most ridings, voting Liberal is the best way to stop the Cons.
However, in Saanich - Gulf Islands, sending Elizabeth May back to parliament would be the best decision.
Don't split the vote, allowing the Con to win.
