About 15 hardy cyclists from the Victoria area came across on the early Coho ferry Tuesday to ride up to the top of Hurricane Ridge on their Canada Day July 1st. The cyclist made the round trip in about 4 hours in time for the return noon ferry  back home. This yearly trek has been happening for over 20 years and is organized by word of mouth through various cycle shops in the greater Victoria area. The numbers of riders was down considerably this year as riders shared that many felt “uncomfortable" coming over to America with the current political situation.
