Ferry to ferry: Cowichan Valley Nightmare takes pack of cyclists from Nanaimo to North Saanich

The unsupported 203-kilometre ride will draw cyclists to the Nanaimo terminal with no registration, insurance or prizes, route hosts said.

  • On Friday, cyclists will gather at the Departure Bay terminal in Nanaimo for the 'Cowichan Valley Nightmare,' an unofficial overnight ferry-to-ferry ride to Swartz Bay.
  • Styled after the underground 'Tour Divide,' the ride is completely unsupported with no registration, insurance, or prizes for participants in this informal group gathering.
  • The 203km route follows the Cowichan Valley Trail primarily on gravel with 1744m of elevation, utilizing Vancouver Island's rail trail and bike path network.
  • Informants suggest wearing hi-vis vests for road portions and carrying bear spray, while reminding riders to remain quiet, respectful, and observant of traffic signals.
  • Riders show and go at their own risk for this sixth annual overnight journey, with route details available online for those choosing to participate.
