v NOTES:
· Generally, the road is narrow with no paved shoulder and little to no gravel shoulder.
· Special care must be taken when logging trucks, motor homes and vehicles with large mirrors pass by.
· When there is no shoulder, sometimes it is beneficial if you get off your bike to let these large vehicles pass by safely.
· Logging trucks usually travel up to 7 days/ week and from 7am to 5pm.
· Traffic is busier during the summer and on the weekends.
· If there is any info to be added or revised please contact Barb Broster at Sooke Cycle & Surf, (250) 642-7320 sookecyclesurf@hotmail.com
