One of our favorite rides, going on the dike along side the Pitt River, going to Minnekhada Park .
(No bikes are allowed in the Park itself), but the dike ride is beautiful, lots to see... turtles, blue herons, ducks and especially Black Bears. Rick is usually rides out front, which is a good thing, as he has the super super loud AirZound Bicycle Horn..... mounted on his bike. The horn proved to work extremely well in scaring away the bears.
The dike is a great beginner ride.... gravel, flat, with a few resting benches along the way.
There is a parking area (marked in yellow below) to unload your bikes at the beginning of ride... off Cedar Drive...
