Stanley Park

We decided we would ride bikes around Stanley Park. It is a great way to see the park and the views, as well as getting some exercise at the same time. Bryan and family decided to get the Sea Bus across the inlet and walk around the city. They were going to rent bicycles and meet us at the first yacht club along the bike path around the park.

Daniel's friend Michael wanted to come with us, so Daniel, Michael and I rode down Grouse Mountain, over the Lion's Gate Bridge and met them at the yacht club. Paula and Bridget had their bikes on the back of the car and we used the walkie talkies to meet them at the totem poles. It was a good day for riding around the park because it wasn't too hot. We stopped at all the main stops around the park and went in to the Lost Lagoon. Here we saw a family of raccoons, 6 in all, wandering along the path swimming across the water, and crossing over the bridge.

Bryan's family returned their bikes to the rental place and Paula drove to pick them up and drop them in Gastown, while Bridget, Daniel, Michael and I rode back around the park, over the Lion's Gate Bridge and waited for Paula at the information Centre so that she could save us the trip back up Grouse Mountain.
