Fort Langley - Derby Reach Loop - 5-08-2010

It was a fantastic day for a bike ride as evidenced by the many cyclists on the road. This was our weekly Valley VeloRiders group ride and we there is still a small turnout but is is early yet and the weather up until today has been less than ideal for the recreational cyclist. I was [...]

In the meantime [...]
