Cycling around Hope, BC?
Hello, I'm going to be spending the weekend in Hope and was wondering if anyone had any experience riding around there. Looking at a map it looks like busy highways in all directions.

I work around there a bit and have taken my bike
The flood hope road is the best closest to Hope for off the main highway jaunt but is not very long or diverse
If you have a car I would suggest gong west to the Highway 9 interchange at rose dale and cycling the roads north of Highway one and along the south side of the river great diversity and very ridable form roads if you go to chilliwack the chilliwack mountain area to the west is great with a good circle tour and a good hill climb like the observatory on;ly felt lounger and steeper but that may have just been the solo part kicking in.
The roads around Afgazzis and harrison also have some promise but in have not ridden them
