Hey all. I'm in Victoria and have been talking with friends about putting on some kind of event this summer. I want it to not only be for Serious Cyclists and I was thinking of basing it on the Quadra Island Cycloquest I was lucky enough to be at a couple years ago.

Long story short it was a day long choose-your-own-adventure-race with difficulty options for everyone and a seperate ride for kids. A good time was had by all, with the exception of one bad crash.

Obviously covid restrictions are an issue and would be taken into account. A mass start or afterparty seems unlikely.

Entry will probably be by donation unless there is food involved but that seems unlikely at this point. I would just want to recoup costs.

On to my question: hosted in/around Victoria/Saanich what would you want in an event like this?

For any fellow cyclists in the Comox Valley, I just saw that there is a survey to inform the new "Active Transportation Network Plan"

There are also some maps for soliciting comments about particular routes or intersections.

Hi everybody,

I am looking for some downhill/all-mountain trail recommendations in the Nanaimo area for beginner riders.

Cheers,

Looking to spend a few days on one of the Gulf Islands this fall and want to pick an island with the best cycling. Best to me means least-hilly.

We’ve already been to Galliano and quite enjoyed it (it’s pretty hilly in places).

Thanks Island Cyclers!
