Vancouver Island Spine Trail - November 6, 2011

The GVCC teamed up with the Vancouver Island Spine Trail Association (VISTA) for a recreational ride up the goose, which will soon become the first (or final, if you're going south) leg of the Vancouver Island Spine Trail. The trail will span the island from Victoria to Cape Scott. Victoria MP and former GVCC President Denise Savoie came along for the ride along with several directors of both of our organizations. The GVCC hopes to team up with VISTA in the future to ensure that the trail is completed.

For more information about the trail, visit vispine.ca

!8 riders in total enjoyed a very pleasant 30K ride in the Fall sunshine. The golden leaves seemed to light our way. We look forward to future activities with VISTA.
