Tuesday, August 25th - VG4A/Galiano GoGos
The 6:30 am ferry for the Galiano GoGos will arrive at 8:00 am in Swartz Bay where the GoGos will be met by some of the VG4A riders. This group will then ride to the 10 Acres Cafe, 9805 Seaport Place, Sidney, BC. for coffee at 8:30 am. After coffee the VG4A riders and the GoGos will head north towards the ferry terminal to ride Lands End Rd. for about 8 km, which is a hilly part of the ride. We get back onto West Saanich Rd. and head south towards the airport at which point we follow the flight path around the airport to East Saanich Rd. We will go south on East Saanich Rd. to Mt. Newton Cross Rd. then west on McTavish Rd. to the home of Bonnie Yarish, 1819 McTavish Rd. We will have lunch there. Victoria riders will bring their own lunch and lunch for the Galiano riders will be supplied. After lunch, we will go east on McTavish to Lochside into Sidney, then back to the ferry.
