other relaxed and happy cyclists. This year, thanks to me not reading MY OWN blog properly (!), we were an hour early. Which turned out to be a good thing, because I got to meet many of the people who make this event happen every year in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>First, I met Linda Poole, Executive Director of the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival. Linda personally started Bike the Blossoms 12 years ago, and has organized it in partnership with Velopalooza every year. What a great achievement! I am so grateful we have people like her, making wonderful events happen so we can enjoy the awesomeness of Vancouver even more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22959\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"22959\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/another-great-bike-the-blossoms-in-vancouver\/bike-the-blossoms-april-29-2017-linda-wolfe-and-hub-volunteer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Bike-the-Blossoms-April-29-2017-Linda-Wolfe-and-HUB-volunteer.jpg?fit=750%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bike the Blossoms April 29 2017 Linda Wolfe and HUB volunteer\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Two of the  people who made Bike the Blossoms possible.
