yes we have been on rides since the last post. We just seemed to busy for me to sit down and blog about them.
On April 23, Mike and I rode out to Harrison. Very nice ride and great weather. There were bikers at every corner. It seemed riding season had begun.
On May 1, 2011 we rode to Britannia Mines up the sea to sky. Again a nice ride but a little more work on the twisting road. We will do this ride again but continue on to Squamish and eventually Whistler.
On our way back home we stopped at our favorite downtown restaurant - Scoozies - but they close early on Sundays :-(
We ended up back in Coquitlam at Wings, North Road and Lougheed. Nice bar/restaurant good food.
May 23. The weather was a little iffy but i wanted to get out for a ride. I met mike after his noon meeting and we headed with a friend of his, who rides a V8 motorcycle, toward Port Moody. The buddy veered off toward home and we headed onward. We ended up heading up Seymour mountain. The higher up we went the darker and colder it got. Fearing rain, we stopped at the view point, then headed home. This is a ride I want to do again.
Today, we rode over to Trev Deeley to register for tomorrows Ride to Live ride. I was quite excited to do another large group ride. I knew the ride started at Trev and finished at Fraser Downs. A nice50 Km ride.
Imagine my surprise when I read the planner package to read the comments from the planning committee that they had "shortened the ride to 150Km" WHO KNEW! The ride actually goes into Downtown Vancouver, then to Coquitlam, then Mission and Langley before heading to Surrey and Fraser Downs! Oh well that is tomorrows story.
After Trev, Mike and I headed over to John and Ruth's. Mike only had time for a quick hi and bye as he had plans, but I stayed for a visit. We swapped travel stories about searching out Harley stores. I think they had me beat in unique stories. My travels had me finding the stores in Minneapolis - in the airport!, Key West - on the main shopping street, in Tampa - at the airport. John and Ruth spent hours (so said Ruth who gave up and had coffee in a local coffee shop) in Marrakesh! We also swapped general travel stories and caught up on Family news over coffee and fresh muffins - Thanks Ruth!
I then enjoyed a ride home.
We will be heading out tonight - Mike will be riding to a meeting in North Vancouver and I will follow and somewhere along the way we will gas up for tomorrows ride.
i will post of tomorrow adventures with pictures hopefully.
Rubber side down, my friends :-)
