Rode the Pacific Marine Circle Route

Yesterday afternoon we went to visit with Irene's Aunt Joyce and caught up on family news. Then we stopped over and had coffee with cousin Sandy and her family too. She has had a couple of years of bad medical problems which aren't over yet.A biker on the ferry was telling us about the road from Sooke to Port Renfrew and over to Lake Cowichan. He said it was all paved now and that it was a very scenic bike ride so we decided to take it today. The road was in fairly good shape with lots of switch backs and one lane bridges. Being an active logging road from Lake Cowichan to Port Renfrew you had to be on the look out for those BIG guys and of course give them the right away. The total route was 231 kms but it took us 5 1/2 hours with a few stops. We passed a lot of bikes doing the circle tour from the Sooke end. Now we are back at the campsite, relaxing and working on the blog.
