280km in Two Day on the Circle Tour

280km and 11:29:40 in two days defines the circle tour around the Georgia Basin aka the Circle Tour.  To summarized my event on the Saturday, I got off the ferry and realized that I only had 40km to complete a Century which is the definitive event in a cyclist goal bucket list.  I picked out my route and ended up completing 160km (100miles) at the end of the day.  To give a better perspective of the distance, just jump in the car at Horseshoe Bay and drive east on the HWY 1 for a little less than 2 hours and you'll hit 160km just outside of Hope, BC.  


Anyway, the next day was start of a 120km trip down the coast on the old island hwy and for all intents and purposes I was cycling into headwind all the way!!!! (Actually I just checked the weather data and it was a 30km headwind which equates to a 4% grade uphill for effort).  Here's some pictures:
