Completed Bravehearts Chemainus to Ladysmith Bikeway 8/8/26
below Solo Ride:
Cycling 8.6km Chemainus to Ladysmith 7/20/26
Saturday August 8th six Bravehearts drove bikes-on=vehicles to Chemainus, BC.

---

They cycled 27km roundtrip approximately 9km of Cowichan Valley Trail then 4km City of Ladysmith bike routes and roads.

---

Ken lead his group to La Costa Restaurant at Oyster Bay at its eponymous bay.

---

Arriving exactly at noon made the lunch decision a no-brainer with spaghetti&muscles the special-of-day at $27 bucks

---

All six ordered the special but La Costa would not give a volume-discount!

---

What a great ride! It's a one- hour drive for a short ride but well worth it.

Cycling 8.6km Chemainus to Ladysmith 7/20/26  

Monday at 9:15am the Honda with bike attached left Victoria for Chemainus BC.

---

One hour later said vehicle turned of Hwy-1 onto Henry Rd.for the Chemainus Golf Course (CGC) parking lot.

---

CGC has the most abundant parking places near the Chemainus-Ladysmith trailhead

---

Technically this trail is named the Cowichan Valley Trail (CVT) which begs the question: Why are most trails on Vancouver Island named the Cowichan Valley Trail?

---

Having said all this about all that, it was surprisingly interesting and well -maintained 8.6km section to N.Watts Rd.

---

Yes. Cycling by oneself gave time to take pictures-to-prove-it anywhere along the route.
