Pre-reg here

Some controls will require staring at signs and scrambling in the dark to find stickers. Be prepared!!

There are no en-route services between Mission and Maple Ridge, so make sure you pack enough water and food.

From the pre-ride:
  • This route is not a horrifically difficult route. But neither is flat. There are some hills.
  • The pre-ride was done by those who were (self-described) "out-of-shape" - so you can do them too.
    There is no shame in walking a hard hill.
  • There are some rough railroad track crossings. Cross them at a safe angle!
  • Pizza 24 has amazing pizza. We shared a small pizza (shahi paneer). But they are very busy, so order in advance
    (Étienne recommends right before you climb the 272nd St. hill)
  • Despite being a night ride, many sections are well lit with street lighting.
  • It was cold at night, but as long as you keep moving, it generally doesn't get super cold - especially with some climbing :)
  • In general, Étienne likes to send you down cool roads. But this means there may be many cues. However, the route is pretty straightforward, so don't sweat it.
