Why do this ride: Up and down the Nanaimo River valley out to Fourth Lake

Difficulty: Mostly straightforward. Lots of smooth pavement inbound.

Other notes: The start/end is a popular swim spot but I was unprepared. There is a minor trespassing on return across a bridge that crosses the Nanaimo water supply but its really just the bridge and seems mostly intended to keep out motorized traffic.
