Full description from organizerShow less
Join us for an early October trip to Gabriola for trail riding, sunsets, and hopefully some apple fritters if we're fortunate! This is a late season campout at a perenial favourite spot - Descanso Bay on Gabriola Island! This will be a 2 night campout, Friday to Sunday. We have booked sites 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, site 18 and sites 27, 28, 29, 30. Notably, we do not have 6a. Sign-up and payment is manged through Eventbrite! Keep an eye out for announcements about routes via email or on our VIBC Discord server. Historically we do a fun and challenging day ride through the 707 Community Park trails (see here for a proposed route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52366096), and in years previous we've been fortunate to align with the Apple Festival, but that is not guaranteed. Historical Routes from Victoria: Intermediate (mostly road/rail trail, but 112km!): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44053722 Advanced (includes the Sooke Hills Wilderness trail, 142km): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48555084 A note about refunds: If you can't make it please let us know by email so we can open a spot on the waitlist! We will refund you once we can backfill your spot :) Otherwise this event defaults to no-refunds, though refunds may be considered on a case by case basis (Eg. injury or family emergency) up to 2-weeks before the event - email us at [email protected].
