I am enjoying your ride report, it is looking like a fun trip! Travelling through some of my favourite areas. I will be checking in daily. Safe travels, have fun!

I hope the weather gets better for you. Supposed to be get sunny and hot on the weekend.
Looks like you are having fun despite the weather and you will definately like the ferry ride North.
We love riding on the Island. If you happen to travel over to Port Alberni and need a hand with anything, just ask.
Have a safe trip.

Short stop for snacks near Chemainus on Hwy 1

Met a local on a Ducati 796 and he took us to Chemainus near the local market. We found this. Great Americanos and pastries.



Missed another rain shower while we were having Java.

Rest stop near Cathedral forest, probably wouldn't have stopped here if we knew how close the forest was.

A must see if you are on the island!











The biggest tree at the tree sanctuary






Downed tree roots




....and then more rain!!

Sushi to finish off an epic day.

Is that a video camera? if so, what mfr. is it? Never saw a handlebar mount like that. How does it work?




.

Its the Drift HD Ghost video camera. It is a standard bar mount unit that fastens similarly as a zip tie, but it is removable. The mount is on a ball type joint so you can position the camera and also tighten it down. Works great, and you can adjust on the fly if you are careful.

Awesome few days of riding...just wish they were a little drier. Some great roads travelled on...the road from Cowachin to Port Renfrew was great. Renfrew to Sooke. .was nice too. Then the "humpback" road incrediable....a must if you are on a motorcycle.

Today...off to Tofino.....in the rain !!! Come on sun !!!!
