I was packed and on the road by 8:00 am, another beautiful day. I stopped in Gangies at the EMBE Bakery for a coffee and muffin.
The ride to Vesuvius was hilly, traffic for the most part was respectable allowing plenty of room as they passed on the narrow island roads.
The crossing to Crofton was about 30 min. I followed the Old Crofton Road, then hoped on a new section of the Cowichan Valley Trail.
I swung onto Hwy 1 at Ladysmith which took me all the way into Nanaimo.
I met up with family for three nights on Newcastle. Weather was great, lots of good food, a few beers ;-) and lots of hikes and exploring around the island.
