A decent route from Victoria through to Nanaimo to Qualicum Bay, with the rest of the way to Comox on the 19a. Lund is cool, if you want to see the terminus of the 101 and get some delicious ice cream from Sassy Macks. Nancy's Bakery is amazing too. Disclaimer: The Victoria to Qualicum Bay track is a direct route record, and makes a few weird route choices through Nanaimo. The Victoria to Nanaimo section represents a route optimized for maximum baked goods. There are many cool places to stop along the way mind you. A detour to Denman and Hornby Islands (roughly between Qualicum Bay and Comox on the route) may be in order.
Note the route ends with the ferry to the sunshine coast. Not many route options other than highway until you get to Sechelt.
