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.
