Hey all,

I just did some checking, and the Anacortez-Sidney ferry is a viable option for those travelling up from Washington State.
http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedul...ute=ana-sj-sid

There is only one sailing and it leaves Anacortes WA at 8:30AM on the Friday. It gets in to Sidney BC at 11:10AM. This gets you to the track way too early, but it will save you a longer drive, and a longer border wait.

If you'd rather stick with the BC Ferries, they run on every "odd" hour all day. Here is the schedule:

I am sure I will go if I have to swim! I should take my boat! Could be there in 2.5 hours. Wouldn't that be an adventure?

Team Mason's room is booked. There's room in the van if anyone is looking for a ride.

Like the TZGP, this is a must-not-miss race in the northwest!

Hello Everyone!

I'm going to be taking care of t-shirts for the race. If you'd like a guaranteed t-shirt size, put a post on here or pm me and I'll make sure I have yours put aside.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Thanks!

Hi Franko,

Thanks for the info! Things are going great, finally found my speed again. I made it into the A-Main in Vic last weekend. Lots of fast people were away though, but hey I'll take it

Looking forward to seeing you again!
