Total to date/KM 54/elevation gain 393 meters
It was 7 am and I was officially underway. I headed toward Victoria’s Mile Zero for pics then a dip in the Pacific with the rear wheel.
I followed the Lockside Regional Trail to Swartz Bay Terminal, about 44 km then caught the ferry to Fulford Harbour, Saltspring Island. Crossing time 30 min. It's a short ride to Ruckles Prov Park, 10 km's but real hilly as much of the Gulf Islands are.
The campsites are walk in only situated on a grassy, treed point. It's a beautiful place to pitch a tent, hike the trails, visit the old heritage farm buildings or just relax and take in all the activity on the straits. If your lucky enough it's not uncommon to spot a pod of Orcas.
