Wonderful Day Out with Friends

Riding with Friends, Updates No Comments »

It’s great to have done something more significant with my bike recently :)

I’ve been riding for more than a month now, rain and shine, since we’ve moved.  It’s been nicer than taking transit on almost all days, and it’s much faster and cheaper as well.  Up until now it’s just been commuting however, so it’s great to be able to write something a little more interesting.

Today Eryk, who recently picked up is brand spanking new BMW GS650, and Michelle rode with me to Golden Ears Park, where we went for a wonderful, if not a little snowey walk along the lower falls trail.  It was a great time, despite being very dissapointed that I couldn’t hike in my Fivefingers… But it was great to hand out with our friends, and go for a mini bike adventure.  Nicole of course joined us as well, taking the car as her bike is still in the shop.

The trail is easy and pleasant, with great views, and a wonderful rocky beach for soaking up the sun and the beautiful surroundings.  I was very pleased that I got some barefoot time into our hike as well – always a plus for me when the shoes can come off :)

The ride there was a little chilly, with temps around 9 degrees, but the ride back was almost HOT, with my gauge hitting 21!!!  Which is as high as I’ve seen it all year.  Fantastic!  Perfect day.
