Cycling to the Kingfisher Pacific Resort with the Evergreen Cycling Group

 by Keith and Heather Nicol
The Evergreen Bike Group has rides on Mondays and Wednesdays and is a great way to meet cyclists and explore the country roads and trails of the Comox Valley. On Monday, Dec 2 fourteen cyclists headed from Courtenay to the Kingfisher Resort for a ride that featured both roads and easy trails. We had hoped the winter lights would be turned on at the Kingfisher but likely because it was mid day they were not on. We will have to come back in the evening. The Evergreen group is open to cyclists over 55 years of age and the group uses mix of electric , hybrid and road bikes.  The rides on Mondays tend to be longer and it gives us a chance to explore places like Denman and Quadra Island as well as rides in Campbell River and Parksville. On Wednesday morning the rides tend to be in the Comox Valley and run for 2 to 2.5 hours in length.
