Heading South

Sorry I haven't communicated with cyberspace for a few days but I've been working the butterflies out of my stomach and having too much fun.


"What are you doing.eh?"


Assembling bikes in a preschool recess.


The trip out of Vancouver was fantastic and showed right off the bat how you can see a lot more from the pace and level of a bike. Both the people and the city are very biker friendly and for them a bike ride down the coast is a walk in the park.Our P.E.N. pals, Paul, Emily,and Neale made sure we got out of the city by taking us 30mi. through urban,suburban,industrial, and country, all of it beautiful.


Our escorts to get us out of town. Eh?


Riding outside Vancouver through the blueberry fields.

As we left them to go on the ferry to Vancouver Island I was sure I heard them singing softly:

"Came here on a jet plane
Going home by bike again
Don't know if they'll make it home.

They look kind of round
Maybe they'll drop a pound
Then they can cruise on down the coast...."

What a great trio, thanks for the send off. Eh.
