The Four Coves and a Mountain 200 Km brevet begins at Harbourside Park in North Vancouver. This is located at the coast near the North Shore Automall and is easily found about 5-10 minutes by bike from Lonsdale Quay Seabus Terminal and about 15 minutes from the northern base of the Lion's Gate Bridge.
The route first goes east to Deep Cove and Seacove Marina (the first cove) then back to and over the Second Narrows Bridge to Port Moody and Ioco Road (second Cove). A tour along bike routes in Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond and South Vancouver takes you to Fraser River Park (third cove). From here you make your way along SW Marine Drive to UBC, and along Jericho beach towards Stanley Park. After a quick tour of the eastern coastline of Stanley Park, head over Lion's Gate Bridge with Whytecliff park your next destination (near Horseshoe Bay - the fourth and last Cove) west along Marine Drive. After WhyteCliff park, connect with Highway 99 east to Cypress Bowl road to climb (5-7%) for 15K to the parking lot of Cypress Mountain – the last Control before the finish. The remaining 25K largely consists of an exhilarating, much deserved descent.
