A 102 km populaire from Vancouver in the BC Randonneurs tradition: a friendly, non-competitive distance ride timed for spring, when the city's cherry trees are in bloom. Nearly flat and nearly all paved, it is a fine first step into randonneuring or simply a good long day out. Ride the route any time; the club event happens once a year.
