Bowen Island is the easiest island escape from Vancouver, twenty ferry minutes from Horseshoe Bay, and this 28 km loop makes a full day of it. A mix of quiet paved roads and gravel, with about 600 m of climbing and some genuinely rough patches, plus coffee and lunch options in Snug Cove before the boat home.
