Contents
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
By Public Transit
Doesn't appear doable solely by bus.
- Translink bus to Horseshoe Bay
- Nanaimo Route 90 goes from Nanaimo to Parksville [3]
- the 89 goes from Parksville to Qualicum Beach [4]
- how to get from Qualicum to Buckley Bay? About 45 km.
- Comox Valley Route 10 goes from Buckley Bay to Comox [5]
- Route 2 goes to Cumberland, which gets pretty close to the hashpoint [6]
or: Greyhound from Nanaimo to Courtenay. But that's a ca.$50 round trip ticket.
