Sunday, May. 14: Lions Bay (Day Tour) CHANGED

Lions Bay will wait for a sunnier day later in the month. Instead we will go south, at a Medium ride pace, to either Iona Island or Steveston. Meet at same place same time.

The Ride:  This popular spring ride attracts many cyclists and has become a club classic. It’s perfect for a fine spring day. It boasts spectacular scenery, varied terrain and challenging climbs to work up an appetite.

We will across Stanley Park, ride over Lion’s Gate Bridge; take Capilano Road, Upper Levels Hwy. to the Sea-to-Sky and on to Lions Bay. Lunch will be at the Lions Bay Café on top of a short but ungodly hill. The café is blessed with spectacular views of the Howe Sound. 

We will then return along scenic Marine Drive with a caffè latte stop at Delany’s. Almost any bike with triple rings, good brakes and tires will do.

NOTE: Although the Sea-to-Sky highway has been greatly improved, it’s still strongly recommended to exercise extra caution due to hazards such as traffic and those nasty, sharp rocks on the road. This ride has a Day Tour designation and is open to VBC members only.

Route: HERE

Meet:  At the Olympic Village Terra Breads at 9:30am.

Distance:  Approx. 75 km.
