 My Bicycle Tours in British Columbia
Ironically, almost out of the mountains, one of the steepest hills encountered on a provincial highway was on the Lougheed (#7) near Agassiz: marked "11% for 2km" the 100m westward ascent of Mount Woodside (at least for the first 0.4km) is steeper—like Cayoosh Pass almost unbearable on a fully laden bicycle.

British usage is "meter" for a measuring device and "metre" for the unit of length.

British houses are usually numbered serially starting from one end of a road or street with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other side, however it is not uncommon to find them numbered sequentially up one side of the road and down the other.
