One of the advantages of being a regular cyclist is that when transport plans go awry, one is not stranded. I have often wondered how long it would take to ride from downtown Vancouver to The Rock (or vice versa). I no longer am troubled by this weighty of questions. 2hrs 15 mins from Quebec & Terminal, so add another 5 for the DT core.
I had a few errands to do Thursday, so I was unable to attend the kick-off the the Velomutation weekend (bike movies), but was all set for another Midnight Mass. Last week's experience imparting some logistical insight, I was better prepared. 22:28 on the 321, 11:10 on the SkyTrain, arrived Commercial & Charles 22:47. Perfect so far. Lots of people. About 60 or 70 this time. Didn't try to count, it just looked about 2X the size of last group. Not Surprising considering there were about 30 Portlanders up for the festivities (but not all in attendence for Mass) and the extra locals likewise . (Once again I was overly prepared, but considering the 16:00 1hr long downpour, I wasn't taking a chance with the weather. Jacket, rainpants, booties, 4 sets of gloves, and liquid "party suplies". 4 pairs of gloves? you ask? Regular, full fingered light weight, full fingered medium weight, and neoprene wet weather) OOPS! Spent too much time reading other stuff before beginning my epic tale, now it is time to dash for more bikefun.
