This is a special Memorial Day Edition of the "Early Morning Ride". What's the same: 1. Starting Location (Safeway at 63rd and Andresen) 2. A great route (see below) 3. Donut option at the end (The Donut Nook) What's different: On Memorial Day, we also take a moment to ride by the military cemetery near Clark College. We start bright and early: 8am! There's no better way to start a Monday than on your bike. This ride is also known as the Donut Ride! That's right...towards the end of the ride, we have an optional stop at one of Vancouver's finest: The Donut Nook. There is also the option of joining the 10am Frenchman's Bar Ride if you'd like to ride further! Please see the route and cue sheet below. East Route & Cue Sheet Head to east Vancouver via relatively flat roads. At the edge of Harmony Sports complex in east Vancouver, the route turns south before eventually heading west. The route loops back around north by Clark College before tackling the hill at St. Johns Road. After that, you’re in the home stretch to the start of the route at Safeway.
