Cycling Vancouver Island: Updated Edition (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

More than 40 mapped cycling routes criss-cross Vancouver Island, from Victoria and the Cowichan Valley to Campbell River, Port Hardy and the roads of the North Island.

Cycling Vancouver Island: Updated Edition is built for riders who want to see the island from a bicycle seat, whether that means a single afternoon ride, a weekend away or a longer tour. John Crouch organizes the routes by region, making it easy to build trips around Victoria, the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay, Campbell River, Port Hardy and the communities and landscapes between them.

Each route includes a map and practical information on distance, terrain, road type, route conditions, difficulty, start and end points and useful checkpoints, along with local history and places worth stopping for. Full-colour photographs help give a sense of the ride before the wheels start turning.

Crouch has ridden every route in the guide himself, many of them more than once. That first-hand knowledge makes this a useful companion for casual cyclists, touring riders and travellers who would rather experience Vancouver Island at the pace of a bicycle.
