Wow, what a wonderful ride today.. My first ride that was hours long… It was wonderful. The new Windscreen made a world of difference – it was like the difference between sticking my head out of the window of a moving car and just having the window open a crack.
I took Lougheed Hwy from Vancouver, all the way to Harrison Hot Springs – what a fantastic route. Beautiful views of mountings, fields, and great long stretches of empty roads curvy roads – fantastic!
Once I got to Harrison I had planned to sit and relax by the lake for a while… But after walking around for 15 minutes, I really didn’t feel like staying. I couldn’t wait to get back on the road Sections were very windy today. It was the first time I had ridden in such gusty conditions, and was surprised to see how easy it was to cope with the wind. The bike naturally reacts to the wind – leaning towards the wind as it blows, and then righting itself again when the wind stops. At first I felt very uneasy riding this way, but after a while it became very natural.
Once past Harrison, I went further, onwards on the #7 Highway. I had never been past Harrison on #7, and was surpized to find even more stretches on wonderful empty road. How could such fantastic driving roads so under-used… Not that I’m complaining…
I can’t wait to take Nicole and Michelle and Eryk on this route…
