The ride is Sunday, September 15. We will meet at 2pm at Memorial Peace Park in Maple Ridge.
We have two routes planned, and we will lead one or both rides depending on interest. The shorter ride (map) is about 20 km with some elevation changes and explores downtown and the east side north of Dewdney Trunk Road, passing through Cottonwood Drive, Academy Park east of 240th, and the 248th Street area.
The longer ride (map) is about 30 km with greater elevation changes and takes in downtown, Cottonwood, Albion, Kanaka Creek Park, and Websters Corners.
Both routes start at the Memorial Peace Park bandstand and finish at the Witch Craft Pub for refueling and socializing.

Katzie Slough Bike Tour, July 27
Watershed Watch Salmon Society is once again partnering with us to organize the 3rd Katzie Slough Bike Tour on July 27. It's a very popular ride for all ages, with tons of stuff to learn about the Katzie Slough and why Watershed Watch Salmon Society is working on its rehabilitation as salmon habitat.
This is an easy ride. We're starting from in front of the ACT in Maple Ridge (total distance about 22 km), with the option to join the tour at the Meadowtown Mall parking lot (Dunn Ave. side) in Pitt Meadows (distance about 11 km).

"Maple Ridge 101" Ride Returns!
We're bringing back our "Maple Ridge 101" bike ride for 2019!
This ride is about showcasing bike routes for making practical trips around our city. You may be surprised how easy it is to get from your neighbourhood to popular destinations for shopping, dining, business, and recreation by bike.
The route is unchanged from last year. Our route takes in downtown Maple Ridge and areas to the west. We call it "Maple Ridge 101" as it uses some of our most-used paths and goes near a lot of popular destinations. We'll meet at the Bandstand at Memorial Peace Park, cycle through downtown, head past the hospital toward Hammond, then head north past Westgate, turn east, and head back into downtown, finishing at the Witch Craft Pub for refueling and socializing. Nearly the entire route is on separated bike lanes, marked bike lanes, or signed bike routes. Here's the map again:
This year's ride takes place on Sunday, June 30 at 2pm. This is an inclusive, casually paced ride. For legal reasons, we must ride in groups with a maximum size, so it is important to register and not just turn up at the event so we know how many riders to expect. To register, visit the event page on Eventbrite.
