Cycling Vancouver History

The Outing: Join us as we bike to a fascinating look at Vancouver's rich history. We'll first visit the Pearson Air Museum to check out vintage aircraft and then the Ft. Vancouver National Site to walk the recreated fort, originally established by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1825. Returning by way of the Land Bridge and Esther Short Park (often called "Vancouver's Living Room"), we'll stop for coffee and conversation before finishing back at our start point. This is a very easy short ride, about 5 miles, with only a slight uphill grade near the finish.
