Tofino BC trip report...with AZR

[trevor]

So Friday Rob and I had lunch at Wheelies and decided that we should go for a good ride on Sunday. On Saturday we decided we would just do the Port Renfrew loop..about 325kms (200miles). We met this morning at, where else but Tim Hortons (we are Canadian don't cha know) at 9am. It was sunny so we said what the heck lets ride to Tofino...neither of us had rode our bikes there before because in the summer during tourist season the road would be brutal! So we thought why not take advantage of the nice weather as the forecast was sunshine and 100% no chance of rain for the whole Island.
The round trip was about 680kms (410miles)
We got home around 7:20pm and rode the last hour and a half in the dark, me with a tinted shield!
We will be doing this again soon





Rob decided to raise the water level of Lake Kennedy.

Gorgeous countryside, thank you. What was the traffic like for you all?

[azr]

Traffic was pretty light. There weren't many times at all that we were held up. We've probably got till about May sometime before that changes. I'll add one too.

Lunch time...





An awesome Salmon BLT...



Life is good! Notice the Old Skool helmets...lol





And we parted ways because the street lights had come on and we had to be home. Ten hours later.
Great day, great ride with a great friend! Could not have been any better, thanks Rob!

Terrific photo's Trevor! I hope the water wasn't too cold or the bottom too rocky for Rob as he contributed to the water level of Kennedy Lake. I'm doing some research for loop rides up my way for when you guys come over. There are some fun routes around here. Talk to you guys soon.

Thanks Glenn, can't wait to explore your backyard.

Been going up there every summer since 94, but the tradition ended for some reason. That 5th photo is a great place to swim. Never been on a bike though. How were the road depressions and general state of tarmac? Great photos.

[azr]

They've actually done a bunch of new road so it was pretty nice. By the time you got to Kennedy lake the road depressions started but there really weren't too many. There was some pot holes on the way to Tofino including one that had to be 24 inches long and probably 4 inches deep that one was a killer for sure.

Now that is what I call a decent day's ride. None of this; "Rode 18 miles to Fort Who's it's for a drink and I was beat when I got home!" Looks like a good lunch. Salmon BLT...life's good! Thanks for the pictures.
