Escape to Canada – A Great Bike Trip Continues!
The famous July 4th bike trip is going to Victoria, Canada! Plans are to drive to Port Angeles on Wednesday, July 2, take the 12:15pm (or 5:15pm) ferry to Victoria with only our bicycles (current valid passport required for entry to/from Canada). We will check in at our rooms at the University of Victoria in Victoria (in single-bed rooms in suites with bathrooms and kitchens).
For the next three days, we will ride bicycles on Vancouver Island – The Galloping Goose Trail, the Lochside Trail, the Interurban Rail Trail, and possibly more. Then we will take the 10:30am ferry back to Port Angeles on July 6 and drive back to Portland.
The cost for lodging is only $370 per person — a real bargain for Victoria! We plan to have at least one potluck dinner – perhaps more. You can sign up below starting Thursday, May 1. Limit is 16 people – this trip usually sells out quickly! Read about last year’s trip in the Aug. 2024 newsletter and check out the photos.
