Saturday August 1- White Rock Medium Ride
Limited number of riders permitted. Please RSVP the leader if you wish to attend.
Surrey is full of treasures waiting to be discovered by cyclists, even its misunderstood middle child Whalley. It will be scenic, but you will have to earn it. There are several hills, one with a 10% grade. Surfaces will be a mix of pavement and hardpack gravel, sometimes on busy streets. Lunch will be at Blackie Spit. Come prepared with tools to fix flats, spare tubes, food, and a water bottle or two. If you lose the leader and your way because you passed her 2 hours ago, you may be left on the tracks to be picked off by seagulls. Pace will be in the low to mid 20kms/hr due to lots of twists and turns
Meet: 8AM at King George Skytrain Station, terminus of Expo Line

I can still smell my brain-burning after this ride of a thousand turns. Thanks to David for getting us back on track when I missed those trailheads. We rode along no fewer than 5 greenways, past disorienting cul-de-sacs, and everything in between. Thanks to Colin for showing me the approach to the Patullo and waking up at an ungodly hour to do so. He also broke wind along Colebrook Rd, not the flatulent kind either. It was a tight group of 4, so we were finished by 1pm-ish. Kudos to everyone who rode to the start and home (not me)! It was too nice a day not to.
