Day 0 - June 17th 2018

 

This blog is normally filled with the travels of the Not So Worldly Traveller but has been

commandeered by her husband (JG) to document his ride this year from Tofino to Calgary.  As well, these entries have been posted after the fact with the actual ride happening from June 18^th to June 30^th.  Many of the graphics about the ride are coming from the MapMyRide site from Under Armour.

The ride was from Tofino to Ucluelet and then after by-passing the section from Ucluelet to Port Alberni (we did it in a car but I have also done it using the MV Rose), from Port Alberni to Calgary.

 We have arrived in Tofino and are ready to begin the ride tomorrow.  The ferry to the island was beautiful with strong west winds.  They should continue to blow for days with warm weather and a high pressure to our west.  The drive over confirmed that skipping Kennedy Lake to Port Alberni was a good decision.  So a short ride tomorrow.  We did some Nanaimo bars for sugar and fat loading today with fish tacos in Tofino thrown in.  We took the classic pictures of our feet in the Pacific in Cox Bay.
