Greg Field Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've always wanted to see more of Vancouver Island, B.C. I'm thinking maybe Memorial Day weekend. Maybe 4-5 days for a semi-relaxed tour to see the dramatic countryside and explore. Are any of you interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sounds great, but it would take me 4 or 5 days just to ride over there. I don't have that kind of time off available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Make sure you go to Gold River. The road in was a logging road and now it is paved. Phenomenal twisty road! Well worth the ride there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Gold River last Sept, you're right it's a classic twisty ride. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Good call for a May ride, worse it can do is rain. I grew up on that island, cut my teeth on two wheels there. There is easily 5 days of fun on that rock Greg, good pubs, good B&Bs, roads that the mainstream misses and sights unique to its own. I dont know my schedule yet but if Im free, Im in. Bring a set of swim trunks for Long Beach, sunglasses for Point Holmes and a plan your willing to toss into the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, bring your wet suit, it'll be friggin' cold out there. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cold it may be, but what it adds to the day is immeasurable. Its the Pacific and its beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 All good!! And especially good as I live in Campbell River, the gateway to the Gold River road!.......

ferguzzi Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I've just come back from visiting the in laws in duncan. You're going to need a boat. Oddly enough it's flooding in my neck of the woods too. I think God is trying to tell us something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
