Sunday, June. 20 – Deep Cove Summer Solstice (Medium)
This ride is for VBC members only!
The Ride: Enjoy this year’s longest day with a ride to Deep Cove. What does Deep Cove and summer solstice have in common, one might ask? Apparently nothing at all. Still, the views and the up and downs make it all worthwhile.
The Route: From the Olympic Village loop around Stanley Park, cross the Lions Gate Bridge and ride the newly extended Spirit Trail. Then it’s a fast ride on the Dollarton Hwy to Deep Cove for lunch. Bring a packed lunch, or buy it at any of the many fine food establishments. We will return via the Second Narrows Bridge.
Bring sunscreen, water, repair tools and those summer solstice stories which we are sure will have nothing to do with Deep Cove.
Meet: 10:00 am by the BIRDS at the Olympic Village
Route: HERE
Distance: about 50 km.

Thanks for leading this large-ish group of 9, Andrea. Lots of familiar faces out today. We checked out some new sections of the Spirit Trail which was nice. The detour preventing use of the west side of the 2nd Narrows bridge persists so be careful with the busy traffic on the east side.

Great weather makes a great ride… nice people help, too.
Thanks Andrea!
