Texada Island Two Step

124 km · Weekend or moreChallengingComfortable for mostMostly gravelChunky gravelMax climbing

A hardy 124 km lap of Texada Island, reached by ferry from Powell River. Mostly gravel, never busy, and far hillier than an island ride has any right to be: the climbing comes constantly in steep pitches, nearly 2,900 m of it. Come with low gears and a full day, or split it with a night at one of the island's campgrounds.
