Measured with GPS at 82 km with 400m elevation gain. The ride was solo on a 29". The day was perfect, sunny but not hot. Route was from my house, downtown, along the seawall, 2 loops around Stanley Park with the climb up to Prospect Point. Then back along the seawall, climb up from the beach over Burrard Bridge. Out along the beach to UBC, climb from the beach up to the campus around the campus and out to Richmond. Alongside the airport out to Iona beach. Return home cutting across Kerrisdale with the climb up over the ridge.

Measured with GPS at 70 km with 800m elevation gain. The ride was solo on a 29". The day was cooler than the previous day and ended in the rain.
The route started out the same as the previous day down to Stanley Park and around out to Prospect Point. Then went across the Lions Gate bridge and looped underneath. Followed the shoreline out through Ambleside and Dundarave. Then climbed up to Marine Drive and followed out to Horseshoe Bay then Whitecliff Park.
Returned following the same route. Once in Stanley Park, did 1.5 loops before returning home.
