It’ll take more than a few bike lanes to accommodate Victoria’s cycling community this Sunday!

Approximately 1,500 cyclists will ride through Victoria, the West Shore, and the Saanich Peninsula this weekend for Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria.

The annual bike ride takes place on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2017, from approximately 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.

Moderate Driving Delays

Drivers can expect moderate delays of up to 20 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on the Patricia Bay Highway (Highway 17) at Sayward Road.

Minor delays and traffic pattern changes can also be expected on Highway 14 between Happy Valley Road and Glen Lake Road, the Veterans Memorial Parkway between Highways 1 and 14, and other local side roads.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time to arrive at their destinations and to adjust travel plans where possible. Please exercise caution, obey posted speeds and event signs, and watch for traffic-control personnel.
