cycle time from Swartz Bay to downtown Victoria?

[enquiring minds]

Am heading to Victoria and wondered if anyone knew how long it took to
cycle from the ferry terminal at Swartz Bay to downtown Victoria.

Thanks for any information.

The Lochside (bike and hiking) Trail goes from the ferry terminal at Swartz
Bay all the way to downtown Victoria. It is 29 km and has only a couple of
very small hills, so depending on your pace 1.5-2 hours. It is a very
pleasant trail, parts on roads but most on dedicated trail, some asphalt
some gravel. Takes you along marinas, beaches, small towns (Sidney),
farmland, parks and suburbs with nice residential areas. Decent signs, but
don't miss to buy the very good "Victoria/Gulf islands Cycling & Walking
map" for $4.95.
