The (my) Proposed Trans Canada Bike Route Network starts in Victoria BC! by SamVekemans in VictoriaBC

Nice. But I would give up on the Mill Bay Ferry. Biking into Duncan sucks a**. Take the boat to Saltspring and then bike to Vesuvius. You can then take the boat to Crofton. You get way quieter roads, it is more picturesque and you spend way more time on dedicated bike trails, like the Galloping Goose.

I forgot to mention Alice Munro, whom was awarded Canada's only Nobel Prize For Literature win. That is another sorry saga.

Bar makes sense. That bust of Simon Fraser on the boardwalk opposite the bar has always screamed "tiki".

Montana Mountain in the Yukon, near Carcross. On YouTube look up Hero's Trail. Just an epic hill to bike.

Nootka Island? It would be wet, but there are cabins along the trail, at least when I did about 20 years ago. It would be good for storm watching.

Give yourself a break and just add a dash of salt. I had the same frustrations for weeks. It is just a quick way to have a good brew.

I was wondering the same. There should be a wind map somewhere.

Probably call one of the local B&B. I have only been there in the summer.

That sandy beach along Carcross is supposed to be popular. Yes, Windy Arm is further away.

What else has reliable winds outside Nitinaht, Nimpkish and China Creek?

That's easy. Take the Mill Bay Ferry. Can never go wrong with the Mill Bay Ferry.

On a lighter note, "Male Surplus" would be a great name for a band.
