Arrived around 5PM to the campground. Really nice site. A mix of bikers, hikers, and tent campers. Met one couple on a 9 week adventure. No plans. Just biking around BC for awhile, then camping later with their mountain bikes. Also met a young English couple riding the whole Pacific Coast. Started right before we did, but able to take more side trips. Have to be in San Diego by Semptember. Oh to be young and have so much time...
Today's ride was great. Left Powell river this morning on a ferry to Comox. Met up again with three guys riding around the Straight of Georgia. One guy carries all their stuff, but they are credit card touring (every meal out and stay in B&B's).
The ride today was nice. Very warm, pretty flat and beautiful scenery. Had ice cream around 10AM. Lunch at a pub. Oysters! We were riding along and saw a sign advertising fresh made pasta. We went down a gravel driveway and found someone in the front house. Mike claimed he makes the best and freshest pasta not only in BC, but in North America. We bought some for dinner. It was good, but after 56 miles Spaghettios taste good too.
Along the way today we saw a bald eagle and a deer along side of the road. We crossed many narrow bridges that we had to get off the bike until traffic cleared.
Tomorrow is a long day too. 65 miles and two ferry rides. We also want to stop and see some sights.
