Two Dams Ride – Saturday June 26 – Medium
Curses! Expect to climb on this ride, so keep the punny expletives coming. Tackle Seymour Dam at the end of the Seymour Lower Conservation Trail. Follow it up with a ride to Capilano Dam before descending to cross the Lions Gate Bridge home. Great views at both sites. Bring a snack, enough water to get you through the climbs, and tools for simple repairs. Expect short sections of gravel. Stay home if you’re not well. Start early to beat the peloton superhighway and high temperatures.
Meet: JJ’s at 6th and Commercial Dr. at 8AM
Route: click here but it will exceed 65km by the time you get home
RSVP the leader: Teresa
Six riders joined me on this ride, but only 3 completed it in its entirety. Apparently, one dam ride is enough for some. The rest settled for 2 dams, a few darns, and a phooey. Harsher profanity was saved for the the ride up Dempsey Rd. The trees and creeks provided coolness from the heat. The higher elevation made the ride crosstown to Cleveland Dam tolerable. A lengthy but welcome coffee stop in Ambleside in the shade was almost chilly.
