Start the new year with a ride! We will probably go 41 miles. Just in case we change our minds and make it shorter, I'm including the 28 mile cue sheet, too.

Please bring a cue sheet or plan to stay with the group.

Head to east Vancouver via relatively flat roads. The beginning of the ride offers a detour north to Hockinson and The Ditch (41 mile route). Then...we head east. 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.

And...of course: A stop towards the end at the Donut Nook! (Note from the Ride Leader: She's still doing R&D to make sure the Donut Nook is open on New Years Day.)

Please note: On Tuesday, January 1, Angela Davis and Sally Butts will be co-leading this ride.
