A bit warmer today, and gorgeous. 24C although the Garmin thinks it's 29C. Feels a little closer to the latter TBH.
The shade is welcome...





Equestrian with a smile...



This Amtrak train goes from downtown Vancouver to Seattle, and beyond to LA and San Diego...



Water stop...



Heading home...

Today was Tynehead park day. Haven't done that ride since spring methinks. Looked at two different weather apps, and as usual they differed. This time however they differed rather radically. One said showers in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, the other offered showers, thunder, and bonus lightning.
Hmmm... Being the optimist, I opted to subscribe to the former (cuz that's the way I like it), so off I went shorts and Tshirt at 23C or so. Lovely!

Heading out in the hood...



Welcome to the Greenway? Lookin' sketchy in more ways than one...



Hmmm...



Destination is over that hill. Lookin' darker...



Made it to the park. Time for a water break. Two minutes later, the rain started...



Hid under these trees for a bit. I think the moss has taken a lichen to them...



Tynehead has a hatchery...



Bikes at every corner...



Got absolutely drenched on the way back. Thankfully it was warm, no biggie! Hightailed it outta there!



Then the sky opened and the other weather app was correct again, so stopped to finish the water...



I arrived home all nice and dry, but I must pay homage to the Lord of 800wh of power. Got a Strava PR on the way back. I have now received a summons to appear for assault on battery...

Shut up Dave...

You've outdone yourself!

You've outdone yourself!

I'd apologize, but... ya know...
Forgot to ask... Did you acquire a new mirror yet?
I know you were looking at various options...

I think the mirror was someone else. I did post yesterday about a new water bottle mount that doesn't interfere with my car rack. If you squint, you can almost see your refection in the new bottle. But from the saddle, I'd only see my crotch.

Ah... I thought I remembered you asking about the "Take a Look" helmet/glasses mount mirror.

Monday was a holiday, so I opted out of any/all responsibilities and wanted to try a ride I hadn't done in years.
Threw the bike on the car rack and drove out to Derby Reach park to do the "Fort to Fort" trail along the Fraser river. The day was rather hazy and not too warm at 17C when I left. Along the river it remained rather cool but very nice with no wind at all to speak of.

Entrance to the Fort trail. I had forgotten where it was, and found it at the end of the camping sites. Bear warnings...





The park was jam packed with people and there were no parking spots to be found, but the trail was relatively free of crowds...



A few heritage buildings and barns on the way...









The end of the trail pops you out directly into civilization again...





Crossing a bridge gets you into Brea Island park camp site...





Quite the property...



Log boom city...





Heading back...

I wanted to re-take this picture from the last time (and bike) I was there, but sadly this relic has been removed...

Last Sunday was Bike The Drive where Chicago blocks off cars from Lake Shore Drive, and thousands of bikers ride with the City on the west and Lake Michigan on the east.

I had expected more ebikes, but my guess is about 5% at most were riding them.

Fantastic! I am surprised at the ebike percentage as well...

Rode the Pine Creek Trail in North Central PA this week from Wellsboro to Jersey shore and back. 128 miles total in 2 1/2 days. Absolutely perfect weather!

I enjoy riding Pine Creek this time of year when the Wingstem are in bloom. Not a particularly beautiful flower but pretty impressive when there are tens of thousands all around you. Some are 10' tall!

Gorgeous ride, and who else would have such an impressive bike transport system?

Lived in western PA (Johnstown) as a young child and went back often for family stuff. Beautiful place.

Lots of rail trails to ride in the Johnstown area now. Most notably is the Ghost Town Trail.
Were you there during the 1977 flood?

North Carolina. Johnstown is probably not done with floods. It's on the Conemaugh River in a deep narrow valley lined with aging earthen dams. Take a life jacket.
