Weekly route suggestions for Gents rides

Re: Weekly route suggestions for Gents rides
Goose to the Burnside and Watkiss intersection and take Watkiss to Highland Rd. Take it until it ends at Westoby and turn around. Take Burnside back in.
Head out to Cordova Bay, across the highway, around Elk/Beaver, Spartan, and either Interurban or Prospect back.

Re: Weekly route suggestions for Gents rides
Highland road sounds like a good one. No traffic, good surface. Could also continue straight at Barker split for a little gravel to connect to Munns.
Re: Weekly route suggestions for Gents rides
In my end of town… Goose to Wale, turn left. Down Ocean Blvd around lagoon, and maybe through the hood at the far end in order to avoid the Muur De Lagoon (if required). Left onto Metchosin Rd, follow around to Happy Valley, up Happy Valley to Latoria, up Latoria to Veterans, over the hill and on to Atkins and Goose back into town. If you want more distance add a Rocky Point/Kangaroo/Lindholm loop in the middle...

Nice loop Derek.
Re: Weekly route suggestions for Gents rides
Gents rides are up and running for 2016 - come out for a casual spin on various routes around town - 40-50km in length, with 25-28km/h avg - we leave at 6:15pm, Monday evenings from Oak Bay Bikes and finish up at the Fernwwod Inn for refreshments and refueling.
Route ideas are encouraged & welcomed -
For this week, Monday May 16th -

Love the idea! but want to make sure we give 'fair warning' - we can do a 'regular' spin this week, and mention the hill's for the following -srandy wrote:Anyone opposing some hill climbs regrouping at the top of each?
