Saturday September 9- Southlands – Leisure
How did an entire summer go by with no Southlands ride? Let’s rectify this crime against humanity. Check out scenic Southlands and improve your hill-climbing. We will ride round UBC counter-clockwise and along SW Marine Drive. Enjoy river views and equestrian encounters with short sections of gravel. Expect to climb hills on the way up to UBC and along SW Marine. Take a break at Fraser River Park before milking the Arbutus Corridor for all it’s worth on the return to the start. This ride is weather-dependent. Check the website 2 hours prior to the start for possible cancellation. Â Bring a bike in working orders and basic tools for repairs.
Meet: coffee shop at 6th Ave and Arbutus at 9AM

Four other riders joined me on this perennial favourite. We nearly lost one rider to the temptations of a car show at Jericho, but he mustered up his willpower and rode past all the Porches. Chasing cars isn’t just a canine past-time, you know. The rest of the ride was uneventful, even short and sweet, as we were home by noon.
