Location

A residential street near the I-205/WA-14 interchange in southeast Vancouver.

Participants

Michael5000

Expedition

After work I rode my bike up to the Columbia River, followed the bike path east past the airport (and past 2023-04-23 45 -122, and then turned north again over the long, charmless, and extremely loud bike path of the Glen Jackson Bridge. The hashpoint itself was on a quiet suburban street, all very nice but not much to see, so I started back to get home before dark. The whole trip was 26.6 miles, which I think is as far as I've ever gone for a purely bicycling expedition.

UPDATE: I lied -- I had gone on a 31-mile and a 33-mile Expedition in 2010. But five days later I went on a 48-miler, the longest one for reals.
