What/Why:
Sundays are for brunch and riding bikes.  Come celebrate Velopalooza with a 32 km bike ride from Trout Lake to The Whip for brunch, via Queen Elizabeth Park and UBC.  There are water stops along the way and some pretty great urban scenery.  We'll fill our grumbling tummies at The Whip on 6th Ave at Main St.  There's patio space so we can keep an eye on our bikes.  I hear they have casks on Sundays, too...

There are skytrain stations near both the start (Commercial) and finish (Main St.) for easy access.  Those that don't feel up to a 32 km ride can meet up with us at Cambie and 37th near the 41st Ave Canada Line station.   We'll be there about 10:45 assuming we leave the park by 10:15 am.

The trip should take about 2 hrs of riding at a leisurely 16 km an hour.  

Those who don't want to ride can meet us for brunch!

Let me know if you are in so I can try and make a reservation for food.

Here's the route: http://www.mapmyride.c...

Bring a bike lock and a water bottle.

Craigslist and yelp are my heroes.  Ask and ye shall receive. :D second-hand bike with fenders, bell and a billion working gears? Oh mamma! All I could ask for now is either a push or engine to conquer the proposed distance...

Aw, that's too bad, Karen.  You'll be missed.

For the people joining us for brunch, there are no reservations.  They don't take them for brunch.  But we'll be there by 12:30, depending on the riders that come out.  It would be nice to get patio seating, but it might not work for groups, so something where we can see the bikes would be best.  Grab a table for 8.
