Route: Meeting place and departure time TBD. Route - Science World - Seawall -Arbutus Greenway - 37th - Dumfries- Trout Lake- Greenway to Great Northern Way back. Coffee and pastries at Commercial Cafe.
Newcomers interested in participating should contact Graeme Wynn wynn@geog.ubc.ca prior to the ride.
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 Metro Vancouver’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.
