Weekend Ride: Vancouver, Hope, Princeton, Merritt, Vancouver

#1 Unread post by DarnMike »

I will be starting the ride from the Esso Station at Skeena and Hastings street.
(Just east of the highway).

I'll be there around 9am and leaving @9:30 am Saturday, July 11, 2009.

From this point I'll be riding out Hastings to the Barnet and Coquitlam then out the valley via Hwy 7 to Hope. Lunch time will either be the Sasquatch Inn or Hope proper depending on the ride time. I expect about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to Hope (approx 156 km).

After lunch, head out to Hwy 3 and Princeton (approx 135 km). There will be some stops for photos along the way since I don't have enough of this loop route.

After Princeton on to Merritt (approx 90 km).

Then back to Vancouver via the Coquihalla and Hwy 1 ( 121 km to Hope ). Stopping in Hope to refresh. (146 from Hope to our starting point via Hwy 1).


Just a note, the Esso is also a Tim Hortons so munchies, gas, air will be avaiilable as well.
There's a McDonalds (if you are so inclined) just down the street as well.

Post a note if you are thinking of riding along.
DarnMike. :D

I should come into this forum more often. I missed this thread.
I'm glad to hear you had a good day.
