Hello all, I am wanting to ride from Nanaimo to Campbell River in a few weeks and am trying to figure out the best route. Friends have told me the old highway will be more scenic but I am concerned it will have poorer shoulders and therefore be less safe. The new Island highway is my other choice but I have concerns about that too. Has anyone done all or part of this route and would be willing to share their thoughts and experiences?

Thanks and have a great day,

Paul
