Just 12 days until we hit the road! One more trip in to Victoria to pick up the last bits of gear and we should be set. We will leave our home on Pender Island on July 2nd and then have the big send-off in Victoria on July 3rd. Be a part of our journey and send us off in Victoria!
Meet us at the legislature buildings, cycle with us through downtown, to the ferry...or beyond!
The Details
When: 10:00 am Friday, July 3rd
Where: Meet on Legislature Lawns
How: Just show up!
Ride departs Legislature for Swartz Bay @ 11:00 amRide arrives Swartz Bay @ approx. 1:30 pm
We are allowing 2 and a half hours to get to Swartz Bay so that families and slower riders are able to participate. The ride to the ferry is approximately 35km taking the Galloping Goose and Lochside Drive Bicycle Routes. This route is mainly off vehicle roads where it is quiet and safe. There will not be a support vehicle for this ride so please come at your own risk and pack the water and food that you will need for the journey! You do not need a lot of bicycle experience to come along, the route is railway grade (ie: FLAT!). The more the merrier, this will be full of fun and climate action!

Please Note: The timing, cue sheet, stops/activities on this map are not what will be used for our ride, please disregard them and just look at the route itself. You are welcome to join for any portion of the route—big or small!
Don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions!
