A version of the "All But Three" 200 km route will be used. The route will be very similar to that found on this database page. The route will be finalized and posted after the preride approximately a week before the event.  

The event starts and finishes in Cordova Bay.  There is plenty of street parking if you are driving to the start. 

The route is mainly along roads with bike lanes or shoulders and on trails. The CRD water fountains should be running by April 1st. There is plenty of opportunity to refuel with Randofuel at service stations and coffee shops as you traverse all but three of the greater Victoria municipalities.  The route only has about 1400 metre of elevation gain over the 200 km. That is about as good as we can do for keeping it at a minimum for the first brevet of the VI season. 

As of this writing, the detour around the bridge construction by Six Mile Pub and the one by the Cecilia Ravine are not marked.  The Galloping Goose might be open on April 4th and the detour not necessary.  The other deviation is at Wale Rd. Currently the old non-existing route is shown and not the current detour.  We should have an answer from Colwood and the the CRD about these situations before the event.  

In keeping with the name and tradition of the ride, there will be two homemade chili dishes, one vegan and one meat, available at the end of the ride. There are no Google reviews yet, but.......  Reload on the protein and carbos as you rehydrate and work on your recovery!
