Victoria, BC Bike Trip

July 1 – 5, 2015, Wednesday – Sunday, All level bicycle trip

Two countries, two independence days, two sets of fireworks, and one Fiddle Festival, along with great biking!

Listen up! We have made a change in the annual San Juan Bike Trip this year! Instead of fighting the crowds in the San Juan Islands for the July 4th weekend, we are going to Victoria, Canada! Plans are to drive to Port Angeles, take the 5:20 PM ferry to Victoria with only our bicycles. After we check in at our hostel in Victoria (and some private rooms), we will ride to enjoy Canada Day with fireworks later that night. For the next three days, we will ride bicycles on Vancouver Island – The Galloping Goose Trail, the Lochside Trail, the Interurban Rail Trail, and more. Then we will take the 3:00 PM ferry back to Port Angeles and drive to Port Townsend to camp, enjoy the fiddle music, and watch US fireworks at dark. We can return to Portland the next day and perhaps even catch part of the Waterfront Blues Festival! For further information, please contact the leader, Ted Scheinman, tedskier@gmail.com or by phone at 503-452-7432 Please send overnight tour form, along with a check for $180 for four nights lodging (3 in Victoria, 1 camping in Port Townsend). You can sign up on the ONC Website or send a check payable to ONC to Ted Scheinman, 36 SW Brugger St., Portland, OR 97219. Limit is 14 people. The deadline for signing up is June 15, but if space is available at the hostel after that time, you may be accommodated.
