Description:
There are so many interesting nooks and crannies in Vancouver. We will find a few: squirrel house, skull house, tiniest parks in Clark County--to name a few. We ride 12 miles to a coffee stop at Latte Da. Then we do our civic duty and beautify our city with the sight of fun-loving, happy, colorful cyclists as we loop around the downtown area. From there we explore one last interesting neighborhood on our way back to the school parking lot across from River Maiden.
