Layer upon layers of hill climbing, this ride is a cardio-lover’s dream. The first leg ascends SFU via Union/Adanac, then proceeds through Coquitlam with fun descent into Port Moody where we tackle the hills of Belcarra. It’s a good workout and way to test your readiness for tackling the local

The Ride: Let’s tackle the North Shore while it’s still warm enough to sit outside. The rolling bellies enter the wilds of North Van in search of good coffee. We’ll break at Delaney’s in Edgemont Village before descending down, down, to the Spirit Trail . Home is via Lions Gate

This is an easy, breezy ride to Deep Cove, land of sea, sand, and Saturday lycra. It’s where every roadie and their uncle ends up on the weekend, nursing a coffee and Honey’s donut. If we don’t get run over by drivers with their SUPs and kayaks, it’ll be a

The name of the game is staying cool by doing cool things. It’s a nice leisure ride to Deep Cove on a nice day. The temperature will be perfect! We’ll find a place for a bite (donuts perhaps or ????) once we get there. Meet: 10AM at Terra Breads at

The Ride:  From the Canada Line we head to Finn Slough and along the Fraser before riding north to Westminster Hwy and on to Port Royal for a bite to eat (either Rozzinis’ or Frankie G’s. Bring a twoonie to take the boat to New West Key! We then circle

In order to inject some novelty in my life and yours, this ride enters bird habitat country where fair is fowl and fowl is fair. Big mountain and river views can be appreciated from Pitt Meadow’s many dykes and trails. Last year, it was overcast with limited views, so this

The Ride:  Let’s hope the weather is okay. We’ll go through Burnaby, over top of Coquitlam and then drop for a nice cruise down the Coquitlam River. Be prepared for a bit of gravel but it should all be nice and compact. No problem on skinny tires if you happen

The Ride:  A quick White Rock ride. Not all that far of a ride (extend it by riding to and from the start/end if you want) with stunning views of the new White Rock Pier and down hill most of the way to White Rock!!! ( What a bonus!) We

I can’t recall the last time I’ve led a Surrey ride! Enjoy Surrey’s various greenways en route to Fort Langley for lunch, preferably at Little Donkey but you have your choice of eateries. The route will be more direct (out-and-back) than indicated in the map below, so expect the ride
