A reprise of the spring 600, but this time we'll start and finish in Nanaimo.

Recommended start/finish motel: Departure Bay Motel, 200m from start.

Please note there is 60km of gravel trail. This can all be ridden on 25mm tires, but wider tires may be more comfortable.

There are several hotels in Courtenay/Comox at 375-380km. The modern world has few 24hr services, but there is a 24hr 7Eleven in Courtenay at 375km. At 375km there is also a 24hr McDs drive thru, and a 24hr Petrocan.
