Hi Marc,
My recommendation for touring is to follow a clockwise route if you can. It reduces your number of left turns and makes your ride safer.
You can check with the Tofino Bus for connections to Nanaimo. If you are moving very quickly you could do the Sunshine Coast loop that in two days, but they might be long. You'd need to schedule at least a day... continued



“After hours of exploring the sights and streets of Oak Bay, the Victoria Waterfront, and especially the Galloping Goose Trails on our mountain bikes, we knew we had to come back! It was impossible to see it all in one trip and we want more…”
Chris and Christine Powell,
Calgary Alberta

“We never realized the magic of the Galloping Goose Trail until we recently explored it in depth. And it literally runs through our back yard! I wonder how many people realize what we have here is truly a gem?”
Trina Mendria-Kotchonoski,
Victoria, B.C.

"We were both impressed by what Victoria has to offer, ...and we didn't even get to ride all we wanted. We both liked the fact that one day we could ride along the ocean and get some great views and the next get a few small hills in a semi-rain forest."
John Fox,
Calgary Alberta

“We were mesmerized by the Gulf Islands from the ferry on the way to Victoria, but we had no idea that the city itself would offer such an amazing degree of cycling routes and scenic vistas! Truly an experience we will never forget…”
Greg and Jami Christou,
Banff Alberta

I’m in love. I’m exhilarated. Optimistic. Refreshed. And yes, a little out of breath. As usual, rain or shine, I’ve biked into work this morning, and feel awesome and excited to start my day. Who am I in love with?? Don’t worry honey, yes, it’s still you, but my new bicycle is the hot new love of my life. It’s a girl-bike which means I can wear a dress, my uniform of choice instead of a business suit, and it’s a retro styled Amsterdam upright two wheeler, in raspberry with wood trim and leather seats. Mmm-hmm!.
