Shootingstar, Please don't think I was be critical of your Vancouver. It is a beautiful city and I have many wonderful memories of trips there from our early days of marriage, living in B'ham. I do think our little group learned a little something about our riding style though. We all agreed we like quiet, country roads over urban riding. We also didn't care for day two of the STP, riding along the highway in Oregon. Didn't much care for riding through the Rose Qrtr. either.

And, I'm truly sorry that I was so tired that I missed all the great details of the bike trail. Didn't notice a one! Darn. I will say, I was really flying up the Barnett Hwy. for a while. We had just refueled at a great mini-stop at a LBS. What a friendly place! Our favorite stop and they only served water! And what did they put in their water? I was flying! Then all the sudden, I ran out of gas and went back to my usual slow pace! The views of the city were great from the hwy, but again, not our favorite place to ride.

I am bummed we weren't able to stay in the city and take in the sights. Of course that was our plan when we signed up last Jan.! Some day, hopefully!
