Saturday February 22- Mexican in New West (Longish Leisure)
This gastro-ride takes us to Chronic Tacos in New Westminster via River Road. Consider it the Subway of Mexican food – select your favourite toppings, and they wrap it into a nice neat package. Burritos tend to be big, so consider sharing, or be prepared take leftovers home for use as a door stop or draftproofing. This is a no-drop ride and is longer than a typical leisure ride by about 10km. Option to shorten the ride by taking Skytrain home in New Westminster. Ride is weather-dependent, so check the website at 8AM in case of cancellation. Have a bike in good condition, basic tools, and know how to use them.
Meet: North end of Canada Line bridge, located at Cambie and W. Kent Ave at 10 AM
Route: click here but possible return via Fraser Way and Kent Ave
Pace: mid teens, low 20’s km/hr
Leader: Teresa
Many thanks to the 4 other riders who joined on this sojourn to New West. One rider has the honour of having ridden to the top of Haleakala volcano (a 10,000ft climb), so we had to keep elbowing him to stay awake on this much more modest ride. My burrito was as large as expected, and the leftover currently serves as both a paperweight and snack bar. How convenient. A big welcome to Kurt on his first VBC ride!
I had a good time, and have the photos to prove it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gabFHfUF6BqGyDD69
