Had a nice send off with Lorraine Jake and our good neighbours Vic and Judy Pearson. I dipped my front wheel in the Pacific, picked up a small stone to throw in the Atlantic, said goodbye and headed for the 10:30 ferry . I was met by my buddy Rob at the start of the bike trail in Nanaimo, had a quick chat and away I went.
My nephew met me on the ferry and bought me a nice breakfast, yes Lorraine, I let him buy.
I managed to get on the Trans Canada Trail in West Van that took a lot of the busy Marine Drive section, along. With some of the steep hills.
North Van was great to ride through they,ve really put the effort into bike lanes.
Got over the second narrows and onto Burnaby's Trans Canada Trail system, it was beautiful, except the hills, I have to lose some luggage.
Arrived at Ruth and Gregs and had a great meal, Ruth's Dad and his friend Ann joined in and we shared a big cake Laurel had made. Jim and Laurel were very generous leaving me lots of goodies, thank you very much. I,ll listen to the cassette tape when I get back, my cassette player is in the basement with my 8 track and VHS.
I unloaded about 20 pounds of stuff to lighten the load and headed off to bed, with Mindo.
