Denman/Hornby Islands (2017-09-08)

Denman and Hornby Islands

Ten riders made the 9 AM sailing from Buckley Bay to Denman  (Eamonn and Rhonda, unfortunately had some problems with a couple of flats on their way to the ferry and missed the 9 but caught the 10.  Unfortunately, they did not run into us during the day and did their full 102 km on their own.)   The weather was a bit cloudy to start with but, after conquering the first hill after getting off the ferry, things brightened up and we had a wonderful ride!  Stopped at the Co-op store on Hornby then onto Whaling Station Bay and Tribune Bay before returning to Denman and tackling the hill on East Rd that seemed to never end.  A nice downhill to the ferry and an ice cream at the Denman terminal to finish off the day!    The route we took is shown here…a bit over 50 km
