Check out the Evergreen Bike Group if you like to cycle in the Comox Valley

 

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 July 6 thirteen cyclists headed from Buckley Bay to Denman Island and then to Hornby Island. This ride was one of our longer rides at about 50 km but it was broken up with short ferry rides so gave people a chance to rest and socialize.  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 Hornby Islands 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. If you are interested in finding out more about this cycling group contact Ernie at: ejkimball62@gmail.com  The pictures below are of the group cycling to Hornby Island and having lunch at Tribune Bay. Some keen cyclists even went for a post lunch swim at scenic Tribune Bay. Bikes are a great way to see these islands in the summer since you are first on and first off the ferries.
