I had ridden all of the segments of the route from home to UBC, but never as one trip. Since the times added up to 1h30m, I decided to be safe and leave 2h before the talk began. It was a good ride on a gorgeous day; over the Lions Gate bridge, through Stanley Park, along the beach in English Bay, over the Burrard St. bridge, waterfront trail around one of the hills, then climb, climb, climb up to the university. I arrived 20m early, not too far off my estimate but enough that I was glad to have left the extra time.
After locking my bike up, I tried to figure out which entrance would be the most appropriate to chalk, since I had left my GPS at home due to knowing exactly where the building was. Instead of chalking I went inside and found a building map, then the elevator. As I stepped out of the elevator, Elbie opened the door from the stairwell. Good timing!
