https://reserve.ubcconferences.com/GROUP/availability.asp?hotelCode=UBC&sdl=CheckDescription: This often talked about event will be “headquartered” on the picturesque University of B.C. campus. Each day will offer a rich variety of rides, from fewer than 50 km to over 100 km. We will tour along the many bicycle routes of the Lower Mainland and enjoy both the natural beauty of the area as well as many areas of interest – both historical and contemporary. In your “non-ride” time slot, the UBC campus has activities and programmes that may be of interest. (A list will be in the package.)
This event is not intended to be a “heads down and ride” event but rather an opportunity where you can have some very challenging rides or more relaxed rides that will enhance your visit to the City and its environs. For those residing in the area why not be a tourist in your own City and stop and see sites that you probably cycle past and don’t even know they exist!!!
Social Hours will follow each day’s rides while other Social Function(s) will be announced at a later date.
