Underside of the Post Mann Bridge

Have you ever been to the underside of the Port Mann Bridge? I forgot to bring a can of spray paint! Nice ride today: 27.3K - hot at 28 degrees. . . but I am definitely not complaining. Hope you had a good ride today. 

27.3K Ride with Covid Shot Pain

Got my 2nd Covid booster shot yesterday: Moderna mRNA-1273. 4th shot overall. My shoulder is quite sore where I got the shot - first time this has happened. Still managed to do a 27.3K ride today! Rode down to Surrey Bend Regional Park and then over the Port Mann Bridge and back. Good exercise today! 

Colony Farm Park Ride

Went over to Colony Farm Park in Coquitlam today – 27K total. Nice ride for the most part – but getting there and back was considerably more “interesting” than I liked. Going there, I took a trail that started under the Port Mann bridge on the Coquitlam side. The first kilometer of trail was 2-or-3 feet wide, muddy and bumpy, and with blackberry vines on both sides. Then I rode around the park for a while and this was good – nice place – nice ride. Then I headed home - didn’t want to ride that 1K death trail again, so I went on the May Hill By-pass – big mistake. It’s like a Freeway! A lot of traffic – seemed like mostly big trucks – whizzing by much closer that I would wish! But I made it through. . . I’m back home and still alive! 

Two ride day!

Went across Surrey on the Greenway path this morning. Then went across the Port Mann bridge this afternoon. 29.1K total. The water level in the Fraser River is quite high. Parts of the Fraser Valley are on flood watch – including my lovely little Barnston Island. My Mariner is performing very well – so much so that I may have to give her a name.
