How can you ride, in that drizzle, are you wearing a Gortex rain suit while out on the road? I would probably have gotten use to it over time, but it seemed like a mess to me.
Getting splashed by passing vehicles was another problem that I frequently suffered. Road rage didn't exist back then. Haha
I lived on Kinsway just off of Knight St., on Dumphries. I could ankle and spin all the way out to Surrey in about an hour or less. So I was in excellent shape.
More recently, I traded my Nishiki Bushwacker mountain bike thrills for a '13 Can Am SpYder RS-S Roadster. So even on warmer days of winter here, I will 'rYde'.
Sure it can be cold, but I get to my destination much faster, so it's doable... ;-)
The scenery and incredible geography in Vancouver was always a pleasantry for my senses. It was something that always impressed me, & I'm still missing it a lot.
I used to love sitting at the sea wall north of Stanley Park, and listen to the natural rythmic music of the ocean waves, that was always an amazing, peaceful time. So soothing to the soul.
The large birds were also fun to watch, aside from all the goose droppings, I loved most of those fine feathered creatures, and their activity, beach side. The large tankers ships anchored and still, were interesting too.
you have so very much to appreciate, if you take any if it for granted, think again. Haha
Yes, the recent death of them 7 penguins drowning in the Calgary Zoo was a great loss, and I hope that a reason and fix can be discovered.
But if you do a web search, there have been so very many zoo and game preserve animals lost, for numerous reasons. So it makes sense that they shouldn't be in such cramped confinement, but running, swimming or flying free.
I donated my large Regal Pythons to our own Storyland Valley Zoo, and sometimes think, it might have been better off, to sell or give them away to loving reptile enthusiasts, but what's done is done.
By the way, this:
There's a reason Queen Elizabeth Park is one of the most frequented spots for wedding pictures in Vancouver: it's flat-out stunning. With its gorgeously-landscaped quarry gardens, fabulous scenic vistas and 1,500-tree arboretum, the park is a world-class public space and one of the most beautiful places in the city. Perched atop Vancouver's highest point and covering 130 acres (52.78 hectares), Queen Elizabeth Park is second only to Stanley Park in popularity and annual visitors. ok, well enough chat and thoughts. I hope you are planning your next flights, and can get a break in the weather to get out and fly your drone some time soon. ;-)
