My destination for that first day was Bamfield out on the west coast of the island. Bamfield is a very small community (pop. aprx 250) that can only be reached by sea or by gravel road. I decided to head west from Victoria out toward Port Renfrew. If you've read the blind date RR you might remember I mentioned that I wanted to replace my bobble head Cyborg helmet for a dual sport model

I've been coveting a beautiful Arai helmet at repsolrider's Adrenalin Motorsports (actually I have it on layaway

) but I couldn't afford to pick that up and I knew the dealer in Sooke had got in a budget high-viz helmet especially with me in mind so as my consolation gift to myself I decided to stop and treat myself

You thought I was bright before!!
