On the side of a road on Salt Spring Island

Elbie:

9:00 - Bike to Airport Station
10:00 - Take the 620 to Tsawwassen
11:10 - Ferry departs from Tsawwassen to Salt Spring (Long Harbour) [1]
14:10 - arrive in Long Harbour; bike to hashpoint; take Long Harbour Road for 4.6km, then turn on Upper Ganges Road and follow it to the point (1.2km away) [2]
around 15:00 - arrive at hashpoint. Take silly pictures of me in swashbuckling garb. Picnic?
around 15:20 - start biking to Fulford Harbour. It's about 15km, should take me an hour, maybe two if I stop along the way. [3]
17:50 - ferry from Fulford Harbour departs to Swartz Bay [4]
18:30 - arrive in Swartz Bay
19:00 - ferry from Swartz Bay departs to Tsawwassen [5]
arrive in Tsawwassen around 21:00, hopefully take the 620, bike home from Richmond

It was a success! Writeup pending.
