I am planning to ride my touring bike to Egmont. The plan is to catch the 7:20 am ferry from Horseshoe bay to Langdale on Saturday and ride to Egmont on the Sunshine Coast Highway. There are two options for camping: Klein Lake (http://www.scrd.ca/Klein-Lake) or Strongwater camping and cabins (www.strongwatercampingandcabins.com) near Skookumchuck Narrows.
This is not a beginner’s trip. You need to be comfortable riding a loaded bike. Pace will be moderate (20 km/h on flat roads). Please make sure that your bike is in good condition and you bring basic tools and spare tubes.
Please email me if interested.
Some key information:
DISTANCE AND ELEVATION GAIN: About 87 km and 1100 m cumulative elavation gain from Langdale to Egmont.
It is mostly rolling hills so it is almost the same cumulative elevation gain on the way back.
PACE: 20 km/h on flat roads
MEETING TIME AND LOCATION: Saturday June 18th at 7 am at Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal
WHAT TO BRING: Bike in good conditions, camping gear, breakfast and dinner to eat at camp, lunch to eat on the road (although we can buy groceries in Sechelt too), bathing suit?
COSTS: Around $19 for ferry (less with BC Experience Card) + money for campgroud (cost will depend on party size and location) + money for goodies + money to get to Horseshoe Bay (unless you are cycling from home, then you just need to increase your budget for goodies).
