Easy Riders June 24, 2021

This is the second ride of the Special Interest Group: Easy Riders.

The group will meet at Memorial Park West (Dunbar Community Centre) - route via bike trails through Pacific Spirit Park to Wesbrook Mall. Through South Campus Housing and main Campus to Chancellor Boulevard. Chancellor Boulevard to Blanca then 8th (Off-Broadway) cycle route to Arbutus Greenway. South on Greenway to 37th and return to Memorial Park West.  For those who have not been on campus for a while this will offer opportunity to see a much changed landscape. We might call brief stops at particularly interesting sites. This will be about 22-24 km depending on the tipsy-doodling propensities of the group on campus. Mostly modest gradients.  We should return to West Memorial about noon.

If you are interested in participating in this ride, please email Graeme Wynn at: graeme.wynn@ubc.ca so you can be informed if plans have to change.
As always, partners are welcome to join in and feel free to recruit other emeriti.

Herewith the necessary stipulations: If you are joining this Easy Riders outing, please recognize that you do so voluntarily for recreational purposes. It is your responsibility to ensure that your bike is in good running order and thoroughly roadworthy. You must wear an approved cycling helmet, ride in a safe manner and obey all road traffic signs and rules. We are the Easy Riders - we will try to maximize use of protected bike lanes, local street bikeways, and painted bike lanes on our routes but some use of Shared Use lanes may be necessary. Generally, we will try to follow the city’s AAA (All Ages and Abilities) routes. Inclines are unavoidable if riding any distance in Vancouver. Individuals should be careful not to over-exert themselves or ride beyond their comfort zones. We will have a designated route and accommodate those who need to dismount and walk or proceed slowly. 
Our aim here is moderate, comfortable exercise, conviviality and enjoyment.
