The blast out to Jordan River has occurred a couple of times during these past weeks. This ride is popular not only for its breathtaking coastal views and equally breathe robbing aggressive ascents but also for the ultimate destination that awaits at the turnaround point. Jordan River is known as one of the hottest surfing spots on Vancouver Island's south coast. Weathered wave seekers flock to its rocky shores in droves and with the masses comes a hunger, not only for the perfect wave but also for cheap high calorie food stuffs to insulate against the frigid waters. This is where the Surfer Ball has its roots and as it turns out it also provides optimal fuel potential for cyclists in training. The 2.5 hour ride from Victoria is the perfect distance to build ones appetite for this incredibly dense ball of cookie. This culinary spectacle of the south shores is composed of densely packed oats, white flour and chocolate chips. The mystery lies in its shear density, some believe it is thanks to a healthy dose of lard. No matter what this wonderfood actually contains when it is combined with a piping hot coffee it will get you home in no time flat. An important fact is also that the surferball and coffee combo will only set you back $1.25 CAN, Clif what?? I took the journey today with Bobby V, 5.5 hours of wind and rollers on a bottle of go juice, a surfers delight and that always faithful cup of joe. Belge be ready.
