Of course, if any others from the GVRD that has been posting on this thread, are available, you're welcome as well.

I got stuck up in the Wild Rose Country again. Enjoy your rides.

Where did you go?
2 sleeps more and I'm back home! Forecasts sound promising so I might open the season this weekend myself.
Hope to see you guys on the road!

Met for coffee in Fort Langley, rode along the river over to #15, started to rain. Headed south on #15, over to 272nd, took Atlas for a tour through Pioneer Park, had coffee at my place and Atlas headed home along 0 Ave.
He was not aware of the Aldergrove Border Crossing.

We held a meeting and decided Donuts were on you next time.!!!

That's right. And the motion was seconded, so there's no way out.

You were a great host Blackie, and kudos to your wife for putting on the coffee and zuccinni bread without a moments notice. Thank her again for me Bob. Looking forward to the next ride.

And regarding 0 Ave, I took a gamble and went north on 264th due to that freak rainstorm...good thing I did.
The storm continued to move over 0 Ave, so I only caught the edge of it. Only 2 km's from your home and it looked like it had been raining for a week! Now I gotta get the polish out and start from scratch.

Holy smokes! Gotta carry rain gear.

Okay, how about meeting here for donuts, then ride to a Starbucks?

Seems to me the Chili was good there too.

Which shift are you on when you go back on Sat., Darren?

So which Starbucks did you have in mind, Elvis?

Atlas68 · 03-29-2009, 10:45 AM

Rode in to work this morning because of the forcasted sunshine.
Road was wet with moderate fog conditions...temp at -1 C.
I'm reminded how much I dislike riding in fog...no win situation, except for the bonus of being on a bike.
Fingers felt like they were being ripped out of the knuckles slowly by vise grip.
That being said, the ride home will make it all worth while.

Bigf00t · 03-29-2009, 11:42 AM

Gee, I guess you didn't see the latest forecast for this afternoon Atlas...SNOW.

Just kidding.......

Atlas68 · 03-29-2009, 12:01 PM

Take a look at the 14 day forecast Bigfoot. Looking at the temp for the 8th, your joke would be bang on...

I've got crocus's (sp) in full bloom and tulips that are 5 inches high. What's this snow they speak of??

Bigf00t · 03-29-2009, 12:11 PM

Pretty sad hey. They say the growing season's about 3 weeks behind this year.

Time to get the greenhouse booted up I think ! Gotta have my Tomatoes.

Atlas68 · 03-29-2009, 12:21 PM

Plant a few extra for me will ya...
I finally gave up on a vegetable garden last year, and built a big ass deck over its location.

blackie1491 · 03-30-2009, 11:28 AM

It was like the first day of riding season out here on 0 Ave, yesterday. Still working on the place, bought a fireplace mantel to install today. Used the excuse that the Bike needed gas to get out for a short ride Sunday.

Bigf00t · 03-30-2009, 03:51 PM

Sure was beautiful yesterday.... Too many bikes on the road to count.

Unfortunately, swimming lessons, a year end soccer party and de-winterizing the camper prevented me from enjoying it on my bike.
