Salt Spring Island
Start location: Fulford Harbour
Ride Type: Loop-ish
Date Ridden: May 2023
Distance: 74 km
Elevation: 2,010 m
Surface: Mix of road and gravel
Why do this ride: Mount Tuam, Mount Maxwell, Burgoyne Bay and Ruckle Park
Difficulty: Hard, expect a bunch of push a bike
Other notes: The south leg of route was a failed attempt at a Mt Tuam loop which ended at private property (pictured). From there to Burgoyne Bay via a somewhat challenged alternate return (pictured). Then another challenged attempt to turn Mt Maxwell into a loop which ended up in lengthy push a bike up a steep hiking trail (pictured). The return via the main Mt Maxwell gravel access and then to Ruckle Park was considerably more civilized.
