Ride to Whistler with Eryk and Michelle

Another perfect day for a ride!!  Eryk and Michelle met me at our place at 9am, and off we went for a wonderful ride on the new Sea to Sky highway.

It’s hard to believe it’s the same highway.  The way you get onto it is completly different – in fact, I think  large part of the first 15 km is a new section of the highway all together.  It seems to be a different route.  There are now 2 lanes in each direction for the majority of the trip.

Although the highway is a pleasure to ride, and I wouldn’t take it off my list of places to ride, it lacks the character, and indeed, the real difficult curves that the old highway was so famous for.  It’s not at all a mystery why they did this, but the motorcycling community will cry a collective tear as one of the jewls of highway enjoyment has been changed forever.

None the less, it was a wonderful ride, in perfect weather, with our two perfect friends.

We make it there is about 1.5 hours, including a bunch of slow areas where construction was still taking place.  We had a nice lunch (burgers) and enjoyed the sunshine.  We didn’t stay long after lunch.  The ride back was as good as the one there…

Another enjoyable weekend!
