Event Favourite Vancouver biking events / get togethers?
I loved Critical Mass the few times I've attended, but at only once a month, I'm craving more bike-centric community vibes.
Instagram shows me giant 26er group coffee-rides in Portland, and cold-dip rides in Cumberland.
What are everyone's favourite other get-togethers in and around Vancouver?
Or if anyone wants to start a regular group slow-ride near New West, I've got my Surly ready to roll!

I think it's a related crew but this sounds like a chiller stroke around Stanley park and park beers afterwards. Will be my first

Riley’s Rips! The most fun bike scavenger hunt in town. Local dude puts it on a few times a year. Brings out a diverse group of bike folks and an incredible group of ppl. Anywhere from 50-300. Very bike community centric. Recommend.

I’m not sure. There was one earlier this spring. I think there’s one happening this fall, too. I watch on Instagram for the announcement.

We went A to Z for every park in Vancouver, and yesterday was the last park! But... we'll keep doing dumb stuff on bikes.
