Default Riding the Island

Hey Guys!

I am planning to ride Vancouver Island this summer. I have been told it is a very good ride. I have never been and want to make sure I don't miss anything, so if there is anything that comes to mind that I should do please let me know!! Thanks in advance

I haven't been on the Island for quite some time. Make sure you get to the West side of the island and bring rain gear.

When the boat stops make sure you hold on to your bike. I've seen where the sudden jolt of the boat hitting the dock has caused some bikes to jolt forward causing the jiffy stand to fold up.
