GREAT RIDE #1: Pitt Meadows Dyke

GREAT RIDE #1: Pitt Meadows Dyke
20 km loop - half gravel dyke, half asphalt - 70% protected and safe for all ages - 30% roadway/shoulder. Suggest start at Osprey Village, south end of Bonson St. (marked by X). Points of interest include airport (cafe overlooking the runway), cranberry bogs, shops and restaurants along Harris Road, and the pleasant new Osprey Village with the new Stomping Grounds coffee shop.
