RESPECT THE ROLL

Be geared up and bike-ready 10 minutes early. We start the briefing then, so we can roll on time. Don't keep the group waiting!

Ride Description

This classic VBC ride, started by former member Tom Dollemore, is now offered on a weekend for those who can't make the traditional weekday ride... or anyone who wants to experience this great event.

This route heads west through downtown Vancouver, then turns north along Lakeshore Ave to Ashley Heights and the lovely Felida neighborhood before returning to 119th St via 36th Ave. Includes a 7 mile loop along Salmon Creek Ave, past Pleasant Valley Elementary School on 50th Ave., back to 119th St. and returning on Hazel Dell Ave and Columbia southbound. 

Ride ends with a climb up Blandford hill.
