Hey Buddies,
I'm so excited you decided to join us for our Gabriola trip!
We will be meeting at Horseshoe Bay at 6pm on Friday (May 9th) to catch the 6:35pm ferry to Nanaimo. With less than 5km riding for the rest of the way, we will arrive at the campground around 10pm. This way we can wake up on the island the next morning, get to the farmers market, and enjoy all the fun activities I planned for us!
On Saturday we will ride approximately 40km around the island. We will visit the alpaca farm and the cidery and explore as many cool trails this beautiful island has to offer as we can!
We will take 11:50am ferry back to Nanaimo and get to Horseshoe Bay around 2:45pm on Sunday (May 11th).

Notes:
We can stop at the coffee shop, grab a snack from a cafe, or pick up supplies from the grocery store or a liquor store. This trip doesn’t require much packing and we will be leaving all the bags and camping gear at the campground, which means easy riding without a loaded bike. Perfect trip for those who are new to bike packing or are still nailing down their setup, even a packed backpack will do! The campground has drinking water and pit toilets.
Cost of ferries isn't included in the price of registration. Pro tip - get a BC Ferries Experience Card to save on your trip between Nanaimo and Gabriola.
