weekend update

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!
