Saturday, September 18th:
Dutch Bike Ride: 3 hours, 10km or 20km. We will meet at the
parking lot for the Ferry to Barnston Island at 11am or a little earlier. The ferry is free
and located at the north end of 176th Street in Surrey. To get to the Ferry
parking lot, turn right at the "T" intersection (104th Avenue) at the north end of 176th
Street. It is 10km to bicycle around Barnston
Island once. Ambitious
bikers can circle the island twice. There is hardly any traffic in this area
and the route is easy to follow, so everyone can go at their own pace.
For lunch, we will bake some Dutch pancakes on camp stoves
at the picnic area at the north-west corner of the island. Pancakes, apple
sauce, maple syrup, fruit jam, and juice will be supplied. A
donation of $5 dollars per plate would be appreciated. This will be an easy
trip and a fun outing in a farmland setting. Wear some orange to express
your pride of your Dutch heritage.
Contact Luke Schouten at 604-988-3528 or lukeschouten@yahoo.ca
to register and for further details. (Note: in the event of rain the bike
ride will be rescheduled for Saturday September 25th) |
