This was the first in the series of lower mainland Great Rides organized by the VACC and sponsored mainly by MEC. There wasn't as much of a turn out as hoped, but the route and event was well organized and those of us volunteering had a lot fun as did the participants. It was great to see whole families turn out for this ride which was a very family friendly route. It included free admission to the Fort museum and access to the annual Caribbean Festival in Maple Ridge as well as bike valet parking.
