5 Bridges Early Bird Special / RL Shawn 7am (Vancouver)



EARLY BIRD -- WE ROLL at 7AM! 

DETAILS
Length: 24.7 miles
Pace: 10-14 mph
Terrain: Moderate
Elevation: 732 feet
Ride Type: Group
Cancelation Guidelines: Sideways weather

 

One of my favoritest riding buddies (that's him in the photo above -- and the path we'll be on Sunday) doesn't get to ride with the club much. So I thought I'd post a ride we can all ride together. We start at Safeway on Burton and 112th Ave, bike the two bridges and come back on Burnt Bridge.

DESCRIPTION
- No more than 3.7% uphill grade
- We'll chill at 10mph if needed but go 14mph if all riders can
- Potential sunrise opportunity?

ROUTE MAP

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38121069 

PLEASE DON'T FORGET
- an extra tube that fits your tire & a pump that fits your tube
- water
- snack
- warm clothes! It's early and forecast says bbrrrr!

PUBLISHED PACE

My guess is that we'll be at 12-14 mph like most of my rides. But this opens up opportunity. We'll go as slow as the slowest rider within the 10 to 14 range. The two combined routes are very common - so if you're familiar feel free to break away at any time and do your own thing. Anyone behind me will stay in the ride and we'll stay together.

MORE PACES/DISTANCES

All registered riders are welcome to join and may depart at any time to ride their own pace and distance; please let the ride leader know before you leave the group. Other RLs are welcome to add another pace/route from this location.

REGISTRATION

Registration is required and almost always free to both members and non-members. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to register for this event.

CANCELATIONS/CHANGES

Please check this page 2 hours before the ride start. I'll note any ride changes to start time, location start, or complete cancelations at least 2 hours prior to the ride start. I rarely cancel due to rains or cold (unless frost, icy, snowy). However, I will cancel during strong winds.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to be a part of the announcements and safety briefing.
  • Riders are expected to have read the Safe Riding Policy and be familiar with the Ride Style Definitions.
  • Please direct questions to the ride leader or Road Captain.
  • Helmets are required. Lights (front and rear), RoadIDs and cell phones are recommended.
  • Please complete an ABC check prior to arriving at the start (air, brakes, chain and crank). And a quick check once again at the start.
  • Remember - we want to be awesome representatives for cycling and spread a love for our great sport locally by obeying all traffic laws and riding in a safe and courteous manner. Ride safely and have fun!
