Victoria, Cadboro Bay to Youbou via Bike Paths
A cycling route starting in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, Canada.
Overview
About this route
This is a route partially onroad, partially offroad from Victoria BC to Youbou BC.
The route follows the Saanich Centennial Trails (some bike path, some quiet roadway) and the TransCanada Trail (abandoned rail line, mostly non-paved but hard packed).
There is a section on roadway from Mill Bay to the TransCanada trail on roads. The Kinsol Trestle is currently not passable so there is a detour to join the TC Trail. Note, this is the only section of this trail I have not completed (please comment on the routing).
From the town of Lake Cowichan to Youbou this route follows paved roadway and then Hwy 18 to Youbou. Past Youbou is a gravel logging road (very dusty).
