Thanks to the introduction of E-Mountain Bikes, (pedal- assisted), this has now become an activity us old timers can partake. These bikes take the "grunt" out of climbing the hills and going the distance, making it a relaxing, enjoyable ride.

January 28 2019 - Circle Route, stopping at the Gillnetter Pub - 16.61 miles

Today, we decided to go on our Circle Route, stopping half way at the Gillnetter Pub for lunch; Greg Huurman was a pleasant addition to our group ride.

We went through the old River View Hospital site (or by the locals, the area was called "Essondale").
Apparently, we found out that this site is the number one movie site in North America!! Nice that Port Coquitlam town is recognized in the movie industry.

Along the way, we meet a couple of riders at the Coloneyfarm bridge; they are working for the Trails BC Website , A website well worth looking at  (I have added this site to our "Resource Link" tab).

We stopped a the Gillnetter pub for a ice tea, and a quick lunch... great pub, with a wonderful view of the Fraser River, bicycle parking, and good food! :)

Part way home, Merrill branched off and headed for his home, as it was on our route back to the "barn".

all and all... a great ride today, perfect weather, perfect friends, perfect food and perfect excerise....
