It's mostly flat road. There are two hills that are a decent climb.

lol what's a real fondo?

Don't ask me, I'm just spouting words because I can't justify spending that hahaha

I saw the price and was like :fuckthatshit:

I can barely ride 80km anyway. :okay:

challenged myself at prospect climb from a short ride.
still need alot of practice to improve

I wouldn't pay $200 to ride the valley...

But, I did pay $200 to ride Vancouver to whistler. At least the whistler fondo ends somewhere cool with a party zone lol

3:42 is pretty good in my eyes! I started this year just over the 4:00 mark. getting closer and closer to 3:00 every time now!

Although that 93km/h max speed is crazy :p

he hit the bike nos, bro!

Just gonna throw it out there for you guys...

I picked up two 3T Ergonova Pro handlebars (alloy - NOT carbon) but I'm having a slight change of heart on them. I still prefer my 3T Ergosum Pro bars. I can either return them (and take a hit on shipping) or sell them at cost for what I got them for @ $70 each. Both bars are a 44cm, centre to centre. (I will not be listing them on Craigslist or Pinkbike.)

Lemme know if interested! :)

damn thats a crazy nos-spike to 93km/hr!

Man can't wait for tomorrow. Gf and I are going up to whistler for the weekend.

I'm getting dropped off in Squamish and will ride to Whistler. Gonna be a sick training ride!

Next day we both ride into pemberton. Sweet getaway together lol!

Anyone have a tall road bike for sale? A buddy of mine 6'1 is looking to get into road biking, preferably with STI shifters :) he should fit a ~58cm

A friend of mine has a Madone that would fit him, it's posted on Craigslist right now, for $1350. Decent deal.

I went for a quick spin with a lady friend today, and we did the Stanley Park loop as well. No, I'm not on Strava, but wanted to see what the fuss was all about on Prospect Point. Did it in under 3. But only because the lady friend wanted to race me up.

^I don't like you. I'm sorry :p

How did you time it if your not on Strava?

Max Speed 93.6km/h

Where the hell did you go to reach that speed? I'm already shitting bricks at 60km :lol

I did an evening loop out to Stanley Park with a buddy last night. It's been a while, and I too wanted to see the whole fuss about the hill climb, ended up at 3:39. I didn't realize where the start end points were exactly so I burned up a bunch of energy prior to the left turn, and eased up too early just after Prospect Point. I'm thinking 3:30 should be a good time once I get familiar with the turns and where I can give 'er a bit, maybe aim to 3:15 by end of the summer. Just need to plan the attack and strategize better

I am never riding with you. :heckno:

Whoa that's a good deal! I gotta say I really like the egg shaped tops on those bars... makes climbing so much more.. enjoyable?? :heckno: And the drops aren't too aggressive.

Anyways... I think I paid quite a bit more for mine online and I had to wait for a long time.

I love you too! :toot:
I have this thing called a stopwatch?
Well, I used my Garmin actually.

Whhhhhyyyyy??? Trust me, I like to take it leisurely!

Leisurely = under 3 mins @ Prospect Point Hill climb

yeah okay there haha :heckno:

i think there is something wrong with my strava on my phone.
i've never go over 60km/hr in stanley park

yea ive seen it before. my buddies iphone does the same thing. speed spikes and sometimes meters climbed is incorrect/doubled

Happened on my ride yesterday to Iona Beach and Steveston. Stopped by my co-worker's house (full of glass) and speed spiked up to 97km/h. I was so happy for a second but I knew it was too good to be true. :okay: :fullofwin:

hopefully i will hit mid 3min by end of summer
