The Ride: This ride probably violates some new years resolution on people’s lists, except to be more active. Have you ever wanted to shout “bibimbap” and not sound crazy? You can on this ride. To continue with a cyclist’s favourite theme, the rolling bellies are headed into Burnaby for Korean

Continue readingThis 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
Continue readingFor fear of becoming a dotard, I’m challenging my navigation skills by combining a couple of previous rides.

Continue readingThe Ride: Believe or not, but there’s a promise for a sunny Sunday. We will leave the comfort and safety of Vancouver to venture to the North Shore to Horseshoe Bay via a twisty and wavy bike route. Lunch will be at our destination at one of the fine dining
