A bike ride to Function Junction will take you about 45 minutes. There are lots of hills but you are riding on a paved and dedicated cycle path. As a reward, you can stop for a beer at either Whistler Brewing Company or Coast Mountain Brewing. You'll likely be hungry so pop by Functional Pie Pizzeria and grab some ready-made pizza slices. Another nice place to stop is Forecast Coffee (wine and beer are also available) and we recommend their chicken sliders. On this warm mid-October day, there were people still swimming in Alta Lake (Lakeside Park).
