Subject: Cycling the Malahat? Hi everyone! I'm from Edmonton and moving to Victoria at the beginning of May to work in research at the UofVic for the summer. Super excited! However, I am wondering about routes for longer rides? (ie. 50km+ ). I'm wondering if anyone has done the Malahat and how that went for them as far as safety is concerned (shoulders, road debris, etc ). Also any other suggestions? Pat Bay is a little of and on from what I remember, so I was doing alot on Hwy 17A (West Saanich Rd I think ) down to Swartz Bay and Royal Oak. Thanks! |
