Let me know, if you need higher resolution images.

Saanich Peninsula Bike Tour

View Larger Map

There are two famous regional bike trails in Victoria - Lochside Trail, and Galloping Goose Trail. I did Lochside Trail couple of times before (I haven't done Galloping Goose trail yet). This time, I did Saanich Peninsula tour: I started Lochside trail up to Shwartz Bay ferry terminal, then turned to Lands End road up to the Moses Point, than Challet Road, Birch Road to West Saanich Road. From West Saanich Road I switch to Interurban Rail Trail (part of Centennial Trail System) before joining Galloping Goose. My bike speedometer measured 89 Km (uploaded GPS track is 86.5 km) - getting ready for Galloping Goose Round Trip...

This was a nice bike ride: fall colours, ocean views... With some small stops it took close to 4 hours and 30 minutes. Be careful at West Saanich Road - some parts are not bike-friendly - you have to share road with cars or pedestrians.

Port Renfrew - Lake Cowichan

Port Renfrew - Lake Cowichan

These pictures were taken along Port Renfrew - Lake Cowichan road. This road is use to be mostly gravel, however, it is almost all asphalt now (in February 2008 it had only 2 km of gravel in the middle of 54 km road).

I took this road as part of short road trip: Victoria - Port Renfrew - Lake Cowichan - Victoria (see map below). It is a good one-day road trip to show diversity of landscapes of Vancouver Island close to Victoria.
