We will probably be back by 1:30, but I like to put 2 PM just in case, as we do like to linger and socialize over coffee and also lunch.

THE RIDE: A wonderful, scenic ride to Acqua Cotta, Mosi's 2nd location, and a favourite pizza/sandwich and gelato stop, with a coffee/tea/cold drink break first at yummy Level Ground with outdoor seating and a great view.
About 40k, a few hills, moderate pace (about 22k on the flats & slower up hills, of course).
THE ROUTE: Lochside to Saanich Municipal Hall, wending our way north to Elk Lake and then Bear Hill Road to Oldfield and Level Ground. Then down lovely Old West Saanich Rd. and on a back way to Mosi and lunch on their patio.
After lunch, we continue down West Saanich a short way to the Royal Oak Trail, joining up with the Colquitz River Trail. From there, we join the Galloping Goose at Burnside/Interurban and back to the Janion.

All trails are suitable for road bikes.

E-bikes welcome; however, bikes capable of self-propulsion without pedaling are not allowed for safety reasons.
