Friends up from Lethbridge and Calgary to help me accomplish my first metric century ride. Very rewarding experience for a guy who is overweight and just started training in late July, and a nice way to end what for me will likely be my last outdoor ride of the season in Alberta. Really wish I would have picked up cycling when I was younger, having a ton of fun.
Get to take my bike out to Vancouver in a couple of weekends as my son has hockey games out there. He's with my ex that weekend, so I'll have two large chunks of 10 hour breaks with time to myself. Outside of Stanley Park, any recommendations of areas I should try to cycle while out there? Don't mind driving a bit if needed for a good spot.

I assume you're talking about road riding? (rather than mountain biking).
On Garmin Connect and I suspect Strava too you can input filters to provide a more optimized list of potential rides... such as distance, bike type, and total vertical.
Good on ya for the century especially after just starting riding this year. Don't feel you have to give up so soon - it's literally all about having the right gear and protecting the parts that get cold easily (toes, hands, face)
