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!
