I am fortunate to live in an area where most people have to travel a ways to see and enjoy the beauty that I get to enjoy all my waking hours everyday.
Doing my best to keep it that way too 🤩

I have done the Port Alberni ride many times. Can't go there right now because of the fire at Cameron Lake (Wesley Ridge fire)
I have gone to Tofino and Ucluelet but its a long day trip for me.
Port Alberni is just over an hours ride for me from Buckley Bay. I always stop somewhere around Cathedral Grove for a break on the way home.
I don't do real long dayrides too much anymore because my stamina is getting lower as I age 😂

Tomorrow I'm off to Nanaimo to pick up some parts for my motorcycle. I'm going to leave real early so I can try to beat the heat coming home. The coast hwy is a bit cooler than the freeway too.

It's 30c here right now.
