Included with each unit:
Lochside Trail: (more info available at: http://www.gonomad.com/transports/0211/cyclingvancouver.html ) After your enjoyable trip across the sparkling Strait of Georgia, pedalers disembark immediately upon Vancouver Island and soon merge onto a well-signed bicycle route to the Lochside trail. Commuter trains once chugged along this Lochside's 35 kms / 22 miles; passengers were charged 3 cents a mile from Victoria and 5 cents a mile return. Now it's a free and easy trail over the graded rail bed. Cyclists can count on two to three spectacular hours of healthy exercise on this former railway and scenic trail-way into historic downtown Victoria. Should you want to pedal one way only, bus service accommodates both you and your bike to Victoria or back to Swartz Bay. If in a rush, the fast route remains Pat Bay Highway's wide shoulder. Cycling time to Victoria on this route can average just over an hour. Most cyclists choose Lochside trail. The paved miles into and out of Sidney skirt the water's edge, with a backdrop of islands and the snow capped Olympic Mountains. Whimsical driftwood sculptures wave you on and into the next community, Saanich. Soon, Lochside becomes a gravel trail that parallels the main highway, but continues as a country road through coastal farmlands and forests. As a road, traffic is light to non-existent. As it once more becomes an unmotored "green way", opportunities abound to hear bird songs, sight deer, and sniff woodsy fragrances. Park interpretive boards offer inquisitive tourists both historical and natural science information. Rebuilt trestles pass panoramically over lakes. ..GoNomad.com Monkey Tree Pub: (more info available at: http://www.monkeytreepub.com ) The friendly atmosphere is definitely contagious at the Monkey Tree Pub located in the beautiful city of Victoria, B.C. The comfortable feeling starts with the staff and quickly spreads throughout the pub, going from table to table. No one is a stranger at this neighborhood pub. The helpful, cordial staff members take time to chat and answer your questions as they cater to your food and refreshment orders. This congenial atmosphere is second nature to the staff and owner Gordon Card The Monkey Tree Pub is in a busy area of Victoria and was one of the first neighbourhood pubs in B.C.'s capital city. When the doors opened to the beer and wine store it was a first in the lower Vancouver Island region. Gordon Card has never looked back and today this is one of the most popular pubs in Victoria ..
