Relive 32km Ride
One Bravehearts Easter Sunday ride.

---

Kevin invited any and all Bravehearts to join him at The Nest-1 at 11;30am

---

Bill visited his wife of some 45+yrs at the Heights-atMt.View (HMV) on Carey Rd.

---

HMV is located at the halfway point to the Nest-1.

---

After the meeting of minds, coffee, sanwiches and soup, all head back home.

---

Kevin left first and Bill, Grant and Ken (in alphbetical order) left with Ken leading.

---

With Ken leading, one knows it's going to be a circuitous route with interesting sights along the way.

---

After SB, Ken left for home and Bill & Grant carried on to Cadboro Bay were Grant lives.

---

Bill was very impresed with Grant's beautiful home high over Cadboro Bay

---

Bill's total ride distance for the day was 32km and 2hrs duration.

---

N.B. The route at the end to Grant's house was: Haro wood trail from Finnerty Rd./ Trailhead at Arbutus Cove Children's Centre onto 3908 Haro Rd/ Sinclair Rd from Hobbs School/ Hobbs Rd. in UVic Alumni connector/ Cedar Hill X Rd./ Crestview Rd,/ Vista Bay Rd. — Grant's home.
Bravehearts are mostly men retirees (some still work) who ride ebikes — some ride acoustic bikes. Any and all are welcome to join the group any Saturday morning at the Switch Bridge at 10am

Bravehearts Thetis Relive Ride
Bravehearts Saturday ride April 4th was lead by Grant and Bruce.

---

Ken was ill and couldn't ride. We missed him and hope he's feeling better soon.

---

Ten riders left Switch Bridge at 10am and stopped at Nest-by-the-lake (Nest2) about 11:30am

---

In between, we passed the 10km Marker along the Galloping Goose Trail )GGT) and turned right.

---

This brought us northwest up Watkiss Way to Thetis Lake Park's southernmost trailhead.

---

Grant and Bruce led the group through this undulating, wide, gravel trail on this sunny day.

---

What a route! Spectacular, lakeside views; but not for the faint-of-heart cyclist. LOL

---

This day's ride finished after returning to Victoria via GGT and E&N trails for some

---

Others stayed on the GGT and dispersed as need to their homes For most the ride clocked in at some 35km and for Kenny — closer to +50km!

---

Thanks to all Bravehearts for participating in a shared passion for cycling.
