I went out yesterday and bought new raingear, my old stuff just isn't keeping me dry anymore.
Is it just me or is this the worst Spring we've ever had??? :|

One lonely post and then he never came back. I wonder if he's still riding.

Hi Blue and all my fellow BC'ers.

Thinking about doing a day trip to one of the South Gulf Islands, any recommendations?

Galeano is the first stop on the Gulf Island ferry, It's about a 50 MINUTE RIDE. If you like to add a bit of easy hiking, you could walk up to the Bluffs Park for a nice view over the ocean and island.
Check the ferry schedule because they have limited sailings.

There is a few cafes/ice creme shops as well as pub where you can get refreshed and have food.

tHE SeCOND STOP ON THE GULF ISLAND RUN IS Mayne Island. My group and I walked the island. There is a small corner with a grocery and crafts snd it even has a pub. Some beaches are accessible.
Again, you have to check the shcedule for the return ferry.
Bowen Island is a 20 minute ferry ride, Bowen Island offers some winding roadsand a fw scenic beaches, but there is an 8km walk around Killarney Lake snd then when you get back to snug cove, plenty of places to choose for refreshments before heading to the ferry.

Just watch for the unusal ferry parking method.

I'm still not able to ride. I hope soon though.

I know of a couple of guys that are going to do the Duffy Lake Loop but that is a heck of a long ride.

Have you ever done that? It's better as a 2 day ride.
