Section 8 - Galloping Goose Trail

The final section of the relay was a 15 km bike ride along the Galloping Goose Trail - from Colwood to Victoria's Clover Point on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. 20 people rode on Sunday morning from Royal Roads University, past Mill Hill and Thetis Lake Regional Parks, into Victoria and along the oceanfront to Clover Point where the community day was held.

As nutty as this sounds, I only did the first part of the bike ride and then went back to Royal Roads to participate in the 13 km Gutbuster Trail Run which I had planned to do months ago, even before this bike ride Relay section was organized. I paid for it! On flats and downhills I suffered a sore left inner quad where it connects to lower tendon. Oddly, the pain went away when I went uphill.
