Travel by bicycle in gorgeous unfolding spring.

Meet yourself on two wheels and ride free.  This 6 to 8 day ride welcomes people who are new to bicycle touring with manageable distances and lots of snack and stretch breaks.  Regular city riders, as well as those with experience touring are all welcome.  Likely we'll be a group of 8 to 12 riders, rolling as a group.

Immerse yourself in natural beauty as we ride the shores of the Salish Sea and Sooke.

Living outside is a treat, especially at this fresh new time of year.  We'll practice meditation outside daily, deepening our nature connection.

Mindfully connect.  Authentically meet the world as it is, as YOU are.

Traveling by bicycle helps us connect directly with both the outside world, and the world within us.  We'll practice riding in noble silence.  Connection and mindfulness can come easily, especially on Vancouver Islands' famous Galloping Goose and Lochside rail-to-trail routes which are mostly car-free.

Embrace your journey and challenges within a supportive community. 

Our aim is that we wholeheartedly bring ourselves and offer our gifts, each contributing according to our abilities.  Together we roll in mutual support, sharing meals, skills, laughter, stories, mindfulness practice, and of course… fun!
