A little over 30 years ago, I helped create the Port Moody Ecological Society. One of the first community events we created was the annual Fingerling Festival. I'm very proud to say that I'm the one who gave the then little event its name. For more information on the Fingerling Festival, please visit https://www.noonscreek.org/fingerling-festival
The event is free and is now the largest free annual environmental event in the Lower Mainland.
Let's meet at the Gillnetter Pub and cycle to Port Moody and help some very small salmon on their four-year journey to the ocean and back.
We will need to walk our bikes when we get to the Port Moody Recreation Centre.
Difficulty: Moderate if you have been biking regularly.
Distance: 43.0 km
Estimated Ride Time: 5.5 hrs.
Bring: snacks/water and pack a lunch. There are limited food options at the festival, but I do know there will be Hot Dogs available at a minimal cost. Also, bring some cash so you can enter some of the prize raffles to help the organization raise some money.
Meet Up Location: Gillnetter Pub
1864 Argue St, Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 5K4
