Great Beauty in Vancouver, BC

Took a nice bike ride along the Seawall in False Creek. Then up to the Arbutus Greenway for a little ways. Then rode down to Kitsilano Beach. A gorgeous day! Made a GoPro Video - perhaps my best composition yet. . . showing great beauty!

Golden Ears Bridge to the Pitt River Green-way

Went over the Golden Ears Bridge to the Pitt River Green-way. Nice 51 Km ride. Used my GoPro to take some photos for the first time. . . nice pics, but with some "bending" on the sides. I kind-of like 'em. Added to my "There is Beauty in The World" collection.

Attended Ian McHattie's Celebration of Life. A lot of people came-out on a rainy day. Saw some Friends that I've not seen for a long time. Learned much about Ian that I didn't know, as I had not seen him for a long time. Looked through my old photos to share my photos of Ian with you - too few. . . too few.

Great ride - great natural beauty

Great ride - great natural beauty. Over the Port Mann Bridge - then along the accursed Mary Hill Bypass - then along the Treboulay Trail to the Trans Canada Trail to the Trail Pavilion. Headed over the Golden Ears Bridge because I didn't wish to go back on the Mary Hill bypass. Long ride of 45.13 Km. Enjoyable ride. . . got home at beer-o-clock!

Short Spring Ride

Short ride today (21 Km) to The Surrey Public Wharf. Somewhat unimpressive. . . for mooring boats and fishing. I've only been out riding 5 or 6 times so far this Spring as the weather has been cool. But today was warmer. So it is now Beer-O-Clock!

Over the Golden Ears Bridge

Rode over the Golden Ears Bridge for the first time (40.2 Km ride). Started-out early at 6:00 a.m. to beat the heat. An enjoyable ride!

Ride to Crescent Beach

Went for a ride to Crescent Beach and back today (51 Km). Another ride on busy streets – but there’s good bike lanes for the most part. My family and I have been here many times. So very beautiful. Fantastic sunsets that are well worth the wait.

Quite a ride today!

Quite a ride today! 41.8 Km to Serpentine Fen Park and back – all the way across Surrey on some of the busiest roads in this city. There were good bike lanes for the most part, but a lot of big trucks whizzing by two feet away is no fun – don't tell my daughter Angela. Most traffic I’ve faced riding my bike so far. Plus the park was no big deal – not much more than a big swamp. I should have looked-up “Fen” first – as it means: a low and marshy or frequently flooded area of land. But bird watchers like it and I did get some good exercise.
