Friendly rides across the Greater Vancouver Area
- On Wednesdays, we train with our coaches, then enjoy post ride BBQs at our clubhouse when weather permits
- On Saturdays, we ride varied routes that always include coffee or snack stops.
- All of our Saturday routes include several distance options and a mid-ride gathering spot for coffee, snacks, and views.
Below you will find several of the routes that we use for our Saturday rides. Links have been included to Strava Routes which can be downloaded to your GPS device of choice so that you can follow the ride on your own if desired. Routes start/finish at the Meraloma Clubhouse unless specified otherwise. Distance climb and estimated ride time are included.
