This morning I got up, checked the weather and although the temp was -1C it was beautiful out. The plan was to ride down to and over the recently and permanently closed Patullo bridge.
Waited until noon for things to warm up a tad at 5C, bundled up and headed out. This time the heated gloves and vest were on and for good reason.
Headed down to River Road, but this time went North East towards said bridge...
At the centre of this shot you can see the orange arch of my target...
Riding through the flats. The area is a bit dodgy and has numerous auto wreckers...
This being the final weekend opportunity for people to walk/ride the bridge brought out thousands of the like minded...
Old and new side by side. The new bridge is on the up river/east...
Hmmm... Seems ominous...
The Patullo bridge was built in 1937, and as you can see it's about time for a replacement...
A look at the new bridge mid span...
Looking down reveals the old train/rail bridge...
To the West is the "Skytrain" bridge built around 1986...
A look at the old bridge from underneath...
A dive bar on the way home...
Riding up this hill is a beeotch, even with an ebike...
Round trip a paltry 26.5kms but felt great after such a hiatus lately.
