Giving Spring a Test Ride

Today we had the pleasure of joining some fellow bike riders to test out the route for the "Bike The Blossoms" ride happening on Saturday, April, 27th as a part of the Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrating it's 8th Anniversary this year. The ride takes people throughout the city to view the beautiful Cherry Blossoms that line many of Vancouver's streets. My husband is a board member with Velopalooza, who has been hosting this ride for the past several years, and today's test ride gave us a chance to see which areas will be the most densely filled with blossoms in a month's time, making the ride truly spectacular. Here is a sample of what we saw, early yet in the Cherry Blossom season, but still breathtaking! I can say in all honesty the ride will be very family friendly, with just a few steeper elevation changes that our 6 year old had little issue with. Hope to see you on the day!
