Quadra Island – Heriot Bay Inn

A lovely sunny day greeted 28 riders at Oyster River as they prepared for their trip to Quadra Island.  Unfortunately a strong, gusty NW wind was also part of the weather pattern for the day so the ride to Campbell River was somewhat challenging. Once on Quadra we made our way up to the Heriot Bay Inn via West Rd which had a few hills!   After a nice lunch we decided to take Heriot Bay Road back to the ferry which turned out to be a great decision as it had some scenic moments, much of it was newly paved and the hill profile was minimal except for the nice downhill to the ferry terminal!  Once back in Campbell River we had a nice tailwind for a lot of the trip back to Oyster River and the completion of the 62 km ride.  Of course, a few chose to make the ride even longer!  Thanks to Sharon & Bill for coordinating.  Next week we are off to Gabriola.
