Location

Side of Inland Island Hwy, near Courtenay

Participants

Planning

Probably the same as my last Courtenay attempt, unless somebody with a car volunteers.

By bike

Highly approximate times.

  • 3:30 - leave UBC by bike to Horseshoe Bay
  • 6:20 - ferry to Departure Bay
  • 8:00 - bike from Nanaimo to hashpoint (about 100 km)
  • 14:00 - briefly celebrate
  • 15:00 - bike back to Nanaimo (another 100 km)
  • 21:05 - penultimate ferry to Horseshoe Bay [1]
  • 23:00 - bike home and collapse on bed sometime well past midnight.

If somebody has a car

Entirely subject to what the driver feels is most convenient for them. And Elbie will pay gas.

  • 10:40 - ferry to Departure Bay
  • 12:20 - drive from Nanaimo to hashpoint
  • 13:30 - arrive at hashpoint, celebrate leisurely
  • 15:30 - drive back to Nanaimo
  • 16:40 - ferry to Horseshoe Bay [2]
  • 18:20 - drive back to Vancouver, get home for dinner

  • Nanaimo Route 90 goes from Nanaimo to Parksville [3]
