Canada Touring

Canada is a wonderful country to tour. Scenery is breathtaking.  Car drivers are very  bike friendly.

We had planned to only ride from Vancouver (via ferry) to Victoria, but due to local advice, we extended our stay and cyled more of the island up to Campbell River and rode a loop returning along the Sunshine Coast.

Canadian Weather

We arrived in Canada in August in their summer and the weather was perfect for touring.
