"Beaches & Stream" is a 100km gravel route highlighting some well known and some lesser known beaches around Victoria.  All controls but one are at a beach.  According to RideWithGPS, the route only has 34% of gravel (by distance) with 707m of climbing.  Sounds pretty straight forward, right?  But don't be mislead.  The actual time spent on gravel is closer to 60%, and the climbing is about 1500m.

You will most likely be averaging about 6km/h less than on a typical road ride.  The first 62km are relatively gentle, with some intermixed road and gravel sections.  After that the gravel gets a bit more "gravely".  Expect to spend over an hour to conquer the next 15km.  As a reward you will get a fast downhill after the Hartland parking lot and go past the Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road for a quick lunch stop.  Finally, the last 24km to the finish line will lead you through a couple of challenging little climbs.

A bike computer or navigation app (like RideWithGPS) is recommended for this ride.  It can be a bit difficult to navigate the turns on trails with only a cue sheet.

You should consider using at least 35mm gravel tires.  Doing this ride with smooth 30mm road tires is not recommended.
  
One navigational hint:  Take a look at the right turn onto a trail at km 58.9.  This one is difficult to find.  It looks like someone's driveway.  But, look down the driveway, and you will see the white plastic trail marker.
