- Conditions: The start on Saturday was cool but soon developed into very pleasant weather with no issue with the air quality. A stiff north wind offered some resistance from Merville to Sayward. At the Sayward turn around riders were finally able to get some benefit from that north wind. Sunday morning the air quality started to slowly deteriorate until evening when it was quite poor.

The VI summer series “Big Ring 600” has been designed to suit the organizer’s riding style. Take this opportunity to explore the mid-island’s eastern shoreline. The event starts at 6am on August 18 in Qualicum at the intersection of Hwy 19A and Hwy 4 across the street from the 24hr Shell station.
The route travels north through Campbell River to Sayward where you can treat yourself to a lunch with a view at the Strait View Café at the 199’ish km mark of your journey. The route takes you back to Qualicum. From there your journey will take you through the Harbour City as you head to the turnaround at Crofton. The finish line for this event is at the same Shell Station where you started.
