Total km: 169.6
We woke up at 6:45:
just in time to say good bye to Joan and Granny who were heading out for a whale watching cruise complete with a crab lunch. They were pretty excited. About an hour later we left in the rain (again) and slogged over Lion's Gate Bridge. It is much harder on a bike. In Kitsilano Ace cycle was unable to give us a full tune up, but they did sent us off with a complementary lock! Thanks guys! After a fabulous all you can eat sushi feast
we were ready to take on the Lougheed highway. It turned out to be really great. There was a really nice wide bike lane for almost the entire way. Our first flat tire on the side of the road slowed us down for about 40 minutes (hey, it was our first) but we managed to read through the instructions albeit the rain and constant traffic on our sides. Thank you to Reid and Lindsay for providing us with our necessary bike book. We eventually arrived at our designated campground, took one look at it and headed into town for a comfy night at a motel. Somehow, soggy campsites with no amenities, food and a fishy smell are not so apppealing, especially after 90 km.
We only set the smoke alarms off once with the testing of our two faulty campstoves before heading to Subway for a champion's dinner.
Adieu,
B & K
