Hornby Island

A ride mapped and described by Let's Go Biking

35 km · Full dayModerateComfortable for mostMostly paved

Hornby takes two ferries to reach, and rewards the journey: loops of 3 to 35 km link Tribune Bay's white-sand beach, the Helliwell bluffs with their spring wildflowers, and quiet forest roads and singletrack between. An island built for slow days, with bakeries and beaches setting the schedule.
