Let everybody know what they missed. Well, my ride ended up solo. Ride partner had a granny gear problem, something you need at Bear Creek. So I went it alone, 2 laps, same direction, climbing, then descending, then climbing, along with all the technical, rocky and switchback challenge BC has to offer. Shaded riding protected me from the climbing temps and I ran into 1 other rider, as well as two hikers/joggers. Finished just as my camelback emptied, perfect!
