I guess a link to the Eau de Hell info page is in order.

These routes really are a primer on the wonders of Vancouver Island ... that is if you're still seeing anything by day 6

If you're not up for the whole series, why not come for one or two? The Tour of the Cowichan Valley (Tour de Cow to us locals, but we throw in a few deer and llamas) is a particularly wonderful 200 -- a great way to start the spring series and Hell Week, not to mention sampling some of the best scenery VI has to offer. It starts on April 11, at 7am. Arrive early to enjoy a great breakfast at The Dancing Bean.

Hope to see you in Chemainus,

Raymond
VI Route Coordinator

P.S. If you can't make Eau de Hell, but your interest is piqued, there are plenty more great events/routes on VI, with 2 full series this year (3 counting EdH). Classics are the challenging Tsunami 300, Back Road 400 and Pacific Rim 600.
