Leave Langford 7:00 am; arrive Victoria Station at 7:25. The cost is $10 including coffee, newspaper and a BC Transit Day Pass. Tickets are available at the CRD headquarters on Fisgard, and also at Langford and Oak Bay town halls. Suggest phoning in advance to ensure they still have some available. It would be great to have a crowd at each end to show interest and support to the riders and media.
