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.

New trail in Surrey

Nice ride today (27.8 Km) across Surrey and then over to Coquitlam. Found a new trail in Surrey – short, but nice. Got very steep at the end – quite a challenge for me and my bike!

The mighty Fraser River

The mighty Fraser River is looking a little extra scenic today. 42.4 Km ride today on Barnston Island (Again). Sunny and warm – just enough wind to keep the bugs away. Very nice day.

Under the Port Mann Bridge – Surrey Side.

Under the Port Mann Bridge – Surrey Side. A short but interesting ride today. It’s a little difficult to get to the underside of the bridge on the Surrey side – a new park is being constructed – it used to be a landfill. Then rode over to the Patullo Bridge on the Surrey side to investigate possibly riding across. There is no way I’m doing it! It is the path of certain death! Very narrow. . . too much so! Google: “cycling across the Patullo Bridge.” You’ll see. Good health Stats for this ride – copy included.
