Well I am less than a week into a new blogging home. Since I think I’ll be retiring the commutist blog, I might aswell write a post about cycling. (!)
I took off on an exploration mission today. I wanted to check out the Olympic Village; or at least get near it. Its been closed off for a while now. Same goes for a lot of the venues. So I ended up riding around a lot of things. Afterwards I headed east on the Central Valley Greenway, an urban bike route that connects Vancouver to New Westminster mostly on bike path. I’ve heard its a bit of a mess and that it isn’t always intuitive as to where you go next. This is still true and was the reason I wanted to check it out. I made it a ways into Burnaby, veering off the path a few times but always found it again and never went off in the wrong direction.
On the way home I called up a buddy that lived on my route back and stopped by for what turned out to be a few beers. Luckily I had my lights and a jacket because when I left it was a lot cooler and pitch black. Those were good beers those R&B Hoppelganger’s.
It was fun to get out for an exploration mission… and of course to stop for a good brew on the way home. Its not about the destination, its about the beverages on the way home!
