Today we wanted to go cycling around Stanley Park, this is something Tracy and I have thought about doing before but we have never had time. Lynn and Matt decided that they would like to come with us so they loaded their bikes on the car rack and drove us down to the hire shop I had searched for online. As we sorted our bikes, Lynn and Matt parked the car, then we met them at the start of the circuit.
Tracy and I had cruisers and Molly had a mountain bike. The park has a one way rule around the sea wall and you have to keep to the right hand side to allow people to overtake. The bike path is slightly raised from the pedestrian path by a small kerb. Due to the number of cyclists, being the weekend, it's best to ride single file. Lynn and Tracy didn't. As a cyclist went to overtake Lynn pulled over into Tracy, Tracy pulled over into kerb and Tracy and bike met path. Tracy was fine ( not sure about bike) This was the only accident apart from Molly getting her shins scratched with the pedals by putting her legs down to break.
Half way round we stopped for drinks. When we were in the sun it was really warm and a cool breeze stopped up from over heating. We also stopped a few times to take photos along the route.
Eventually we made it to the end of false creek and the olympic village where the competitors stayed. They are selling them as residential and restaurants, but none are open so we went back a few metres to McDonalds. Yes, we couldn't believe it either that Lynn went to McD. ( I had a salad!!)
After lunch we set off back along the creek to the shop to return the bikes.
Once back at Lynn's house, via supermarket and Slushys, Bill and Ed arrived to stay the night.
For dinner Lyndon cooked pork loins with soy, garlic and ginger. We also had an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for Molly as we couldn't get one for her birthday being at the cabin.
After dinner Molly and Matt spent the evening playing with glow sticks left over from last night.
