DETAILS

How to ride the Town and Country? First, ride the River Run (COUNTRY miles). Return to the start/finish (mile 18.1) for a little donut break. Then it’s back in the saddle singing Auld Lang Syne as you ride streets that local bike commuters dub “the Scottish Highway” (McLoughlin, MacArthur, McGillivray). Circle back to a fun descent on Blandford and an uphill to Evergreen pedaling through historic Fort Vancouver to finish. The TOWN miles (16) add distance with only one hill and lots of straight segments offering plenty of leg-stretcher opportunities on this ride through south Vancouver. (657’ total elevation for both routes)

After a great ride in the morning, please join us for the VBC Volunteer Pizza Party later that day. (sign up and register online separately for the Volunteer Party/Celebration via the calendar link)
