A 234km round trip with almost six hours in the saddle is a good exercise for endurance. We rode non stop to Harrison Hot Springs, one of the most motorcycle friendliest towns around. Bikes were parked all over the place, and nobody bothered if it were legal or not. We found a gap, too to squeeze in our little Vespas.
It was around noon, so just in time for a little lunch break. The Muddy Waters serves tasty sandwiches, and great coffee. While I had a crab/avocado panini, hubby went with a more mundane ham/cheese one. We relaxed on the patio, and watched the world go by.
Green Point at Sasquatch Provincial Park. The park is characterized by a series of pocket lakes, a unique second-growth forest, and scenic mountain ridges. Besides the typical wildlife, such as bears, deer or bald eagles, allegedly Bigfoot can occasionally be seen here.
No sightings of the Sasquatch today. Instead we spotted quite a few hairy bare chested rednecks. I sometimes wish there was a law that would forbid showing off saggy beer bellies. Sorry, no pictures, the camera went on strike when trying to capture the paunches of doom.
Having seen enough of human eyesore we went on to enjoy the scenery. Harrison Lake is the largest lake in the Southern coast mountains, and famous for fishing and boating. The surrounding mountains make for a beautiful background.

One final intake of the fantastic vista before we rode non-stop back home. Both bikes did great, and fuel economy was close to 3 liter per 100 km, which translates to 80 miles per gallon.
I am so glad you spared us the beer belly photos. Awesome pictures. I ended up being home for the day, I am getting things ready for vacation. Maybe I will go for a scoot tomorrow. Looks like you had a great day.

ReplyDeleteLOL! Just a few days ago I saw one of those skinny biker types whose ribs were practically showing through his bare chest and thought for a brief second about the reactions I'd get if I were to ride the scooter without a shirt. NOT GONNA DO IT!
