Here's what happened on the VI600, which finished in Parksville:

Last Train to Parksville
by Deirdre Arscott

Took the last train to Parksville,
Heading for the Chevron Station.
Had to be there for five thirty,
'Cause I'd made a ferry reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, go, go, go!
Oh, go, go, go!

Susan fed me pasta dinner,
Salad, and even some red vino.
Made me coffee in the morning
So I could make it to Tofino.
Oh, who could hope for more?
More, more, more!

Chug, chug, chug, Doug hauled up front.
Couldn't keep up, Couldn't keep up.
My muscles were all hurting
And my soup was coming up.
Feeling low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, tow, tow, tow!

Couldn't hear you in the headwind.
What? WHAT? You want some pop?
We've just one last stretch together
Huh? You wanna to stop??
OH you have to GO, GO, GO?
Oh, go, go, go!

Took the last train to Parksville,
Amanda waited at the station,
Shook our hands and gave out pins.
Then it was time for some libation.
Oh feel that glow! Oh, go, go, go!
Oh, go, go, go!

Last Train to Clarksville was a number 1 hit performed by The Monkees in 1966. This is the latest rendition, Last Train to Parksville, 2006. There is some debate about whether this was also performed by monkeys.
