Vancouver Island & Sunshine Coast Cycle Tour

July 30th to August 7th, 2011

Over the BC Day weekend and through the first week of August in 2011 Susan and I toured on Vancouver Island, Quadra Island, Texada Island, and the Sunshine Coast. This was, in some ways, a best-of reprise of a cycle camping tour we did in 1996 to the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Island, and some of the Gulf Islands. We re-visited some of our favourite places from that tour, 15 years later, and went to some places we'd never been before. And this time we stayed in B&Bs, inns, and lodges, and ate in restaurants - ahh, the privileges (and softness?) that come with aging.

Our photos from the tour are in a Flickr photo set.

The colour palette for this page is based on colours in some of the photos we took on the trip:

• The background is from the conifer tree branches
• The text colour is from the sky reflected in the water
• The day headers colour is from Susan's lifejacket
• The links colour is from the floats in Powell Lake

This is a work in progress, with sections being added as time and motivation permit. The page footer shows the date of the last update.
