Those who are renting regular bikes must be ready for a fairly serious workout). In addition, some routes are considered unsafe to ride for inexperienced riders, such as the Fulford Ganges. We HIGHLY recommend the Northern Loop for anyone who is moderately apprehensive as it gets quieter quickly via Upper Ganges Rd and mellows right out on Walker’s Hook.

13. Can you recommend a route:

* NOTE: We generally recommend our customers avoid the Fulford - Ganges road as much as possible. Side roads on Salt Spring are much quieter. The Fulford-Ganges is a little like a rural highway with little room for cyclists.

1. North End to Fernwood Dock - Highly recommend this route. Its generally quieter than all cycling on Salt Spring and there is LOTS to see and do.
   Leave town on Upper Ganges Rd, Visit the Woodshed, follow Upper Ganges to Central, right on North End Rd, past the lake, right on Fernwood. From the Dock its a choose your own adventure. Some of our favourites: Fernwood dock, Hen and Hound farm stand, North End Farm, Southy Point (In the most Northern tip… go figure), Fraser’s Thimble Farms Nursery (lovely spot),Sunset Beach, Vesuvius Beach, St Mary Lake, the Cidery, and Kutatas Vineyard.

2. South End Route to Ruckle - Up Ganges Hill to Beddis Rd, follow until Cusheon Lake Rd, hang a Right, then a left on Stewart. That will take you to the wonders of the South Island. Some of our Favourite spots: The SS Cheese Factory (must see), Ruckle Park Trails, Barb’s farm stand on Beaver Point Rd, Weston Lake (nudist alert!), Beddis Beach and more.
   We recommend doubling back the same route and not riding to town via Fulford-Ganges.

3. Mt Erskine - Amazing hike with an incredible view. The adjacent map will get you to a great starting point. About 5-8 mins into the walk you will come to a fork in the trail (left, straight, or right) - go STRAIGHT, 5 mins later, stay right (for AMAZING bluff views - tho a slightly more challenging route). For those seeking a more level walk, check out Ruckle Park.)
