River Valley East

Since Hubby and I had been stymied in our efforts to get past Wayne Gretzky Drive a couple of nights ago -- we weren't sure about the best way to go -- last night we decided to drive all the way to Capilano and enter the River Valley from there.

We went later in the day, and it was hot, hot, hot. 27 C with Humidex of 30. There was not really any wind to cool us off. We rode up lots of hills, which made us feel the heat even more. But it was a good ride.




First we rode east to Rundle Park. Not exactly pleasant on a hot Saturday afternoon -- there were so many people on the trail, we felt like we were a nuisance.

So we turned around and rode west to the Cloverdale foot bridge and then back up to Wayne Gretzky Drive. This time, we had our map, so after looking it over, we decided to climb out of the valley on to Ada Boulevard, following that as far as the Rundle foot bridge. From there it was back to the parking lot and the air conditioned ride home.
