Next Recreational Ride: Vancouver Island Spine Trail

Departs 9:00 a.m. from Caffe Fantastic, Galloping Goose Trail just south of the Bay Bridge

Hello Riders.
 
Sorry for the late notice but we only just found out about this ourselves. We will be moving back a week all the planned Recreational Rides so that we can participate in a ride on the Galloping Goose tomorrow to Royal Roads and return to support:

VISTA - Vancouver Island Spine Trail Association Website

What is the VI Spine Trail?

The Vancouver Island “Spine” Trail is a proposed inland trail from Mile Zero (Douglas St at Dallas Rd) in the south to Cape Scott at the northern tip of the Island. Read more about the Concept and Background. Explore the proposed trail via Web and Google Maps.

What a fantastic idea to bring cycle tourism to Victoria and for our own recreational purposes!

So: Meet at 9:00 a.m. Caffe Fantastico on the Galloping Goose trail just a kilometer north of the Johnson Street Bridge right before the Bay Bridge Underpass. You will see it on your left just before turning off Harbour road for the bike/pedestrial path.

Actually you might want to arrive a little bit early for a coffee!

Total ride is 30K and is very flat as we will be entirely on the Galloping Goose. The ride will end at the Lido Restaurant on the Wharf at the bottom of Bastion Square.

See you at Cafe Fantastico!
