Gabriola Island

A group of 14 riders, including two who live in Nanaimo, Jane & Diana, met at the Gabriola ferry terminal in Nanaimo for the 15 minute ferry ride to beautiful Gabriola Island.  We started the trip off with a nice hill up from the ferry which eventually lead to Dr. Bob’s chain breaking.  A quick repair was made and we rode down South Road to Brickyard Beach then onward to Silva Bay before returning via North Road and eventually Taylor Rd and Berry Point Rd to the Surf Lodge for lunch.  We then made our way back to the Ferry Terminal and surprised ourselves by catching the 3:05 ferry which was running a bit late.  A lovely warm sunny day for the ~40 km ride around the island.  Thanks to Marilynn for coordinating.

Another group of 9 riders met for a Choose a Route from the Filberg Centre.
