Description:

This is a social ride that explores a bit of Vancouver's charming oddity and then a friendly practice climb of McLoughlin hill for those might be intimidated to try it alone.  You can do it even if you find you need to hop off and walk.  McLoughlin is a key hill on many club routes.  Good to try it with us.
