DETAILS

 

**Special Ride Today, 5/31, followed by a gathering to celebrate our friend Tom Dollemore's life, 12-2pm**

Today's ride would have been Tom's 70th birthday.  Carole would like to invite us all to share coffee, cookies and stories at River Maiden Coffee Shop where the Earthquake rides began before the pandemic.
(Note: the rides will still start from the same location as always. Only the coffee stop at the end is different.)

If you are not riding but still want to com, please do!  If you could drop Carole an email by 5/24 (caroledoll@comcast.net), she'll be able to give Melissa a more accurate cookie and coffee headcount.  ALL ARE WELCOME!

Tom loved to laugh and ride his bike with his bike buddies.  Please come to share cookies, coffee, and stories with Tom's family and many friends.

 

**A note on this ride: Our buddy, Tom Dollemore, led this ride. We surely miss him and we're keeping this ride going in his honor.


This route heads west through downtown Vancouver, then turns north along Lakeshore Ave to Ashley Heights and the Felida neighborhood before returning to 119th St via 36th Ave. Includes a 7 mile loop along Salmon Creek Ave, past Pleasant Valley Elem. on 50th Ave. back to 119th St. Returning on Hazel Dell Ave and Columbia southbound.
Ride ends with a climb up Blandford hill.
Regroup on 104th St at top of Lakeshore.
Rolling regroups as needed no rest stop.
Fun, brisk 18-20 pace.
 
Note: for a shorter, easier version of this route, (22 mi) check out the Mini-Quake route.
