Cycle Across Canada Rides the BC Lung Trek
Each year in September, the BC Lung Association holds its 2-day, 200 km Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath, and for both "oldies" and "rookies" alike, here are the route maps prepared in Map My Ride. This provides street and satellite views, with an elevation graph. Allow a few seconds for the software to zoom from the world view into the Fraser Valley. If it fails to zoom, click the "Refresh" button - or just click on the "view elevation" button. Note that when you have clicked "view elevation" you will be viewing the map on the MapMyRide website. Use the "Tools" menu to calculate how many calories you burn - but note that when you enter your weight, include the bike, and for the time taken, subtract the minutes spent at the rest areas. (Bad news - it takes some 3,000 calories to lose a pound!!)
Map for Day 1:
Click on the "View Elevation" box in the top right menu panel to access the website as mentioned above.
For the "infamous" hill that awaits all riders on Day 1 around the 98km mark, and for Trek Day 2, click "Continue reading" below:
As above, click on the "view elevation" box in the top right menu panel, and this will show you the steepness of the climb!
Map for Day 2:
As before, click on the "view elevation" button to get the whole picture. See you on the Ride!!
Now click Home and then scroll down and "click" on our flag counter - we have been visited by people from 52 countries! Can we break 75?!
