Whidbey Island (historical spelling Whidby) is the larger of the two main islands (the other island is Camano Island, east of Whidbey) that comprise Island County, Washington, in the United States. Whidbey is about 30 miles (48 km) north of Seattle …
I spent a sunny day cycling.
Taking the ferry over from Port Townsend.
That mountain is about 60 miles away.
Lunch at the Main Street Grill in Coupeville. Delish.
Stopping in Vancouver en route to my parent’s place, Rockin’ Ronnie and I got out on the bikes two days in a row.
First, his favourite local ride – the Fisherman’s Trail.
He’d never seen it so green, so overgrown. It was solstice.
Next day we rode over the bridge to Stanley Park, the #1 urban park in the world on some lists.
We met friends for a light lunch on Granville Island.
That’s Edible Canada, one of the best of many fine Granville eateries.
From there we looped busy False Creek.
It doesn’t get much better than Vancouver on a sunny day.
And it’s always sunny when I visit Vancouver. 🙂
With Red Rock Canyon, terrific weather (even in June) and an extensive network of bike pathways in the suburbs, cycling is one of my favourite things to do in Lost Wages.

Where are the wheels?
Andy got his from Crateworks. I’ll check out Andy’s the end of the month.
Well, I did it.
Two eight-hour days and 240 km after departing from Cloverdale on Saturday morning, I completed The British Columbia Ride to Conquer Cancer! Thanks to the support of friends and family I raised over $6,000!
More detailed thanks to come, but wanted everyone to know I got to Seattle in one piece and, despite a lot of rain and some strong headwinds, I had a great ride and an unforgettable, extraordinarily satisfying experience.
Mike is cycling South America. He’s reached the big city in Chile. Great for photojournalism.
Inspired by the indigenous inhabitants of southern Patagonia; the Mapuche. Many of the murals highlight the struggle and plight of the Mapuche. Historically stripped of land and resources by European settlers they struggle to find a footing in modern day Chile. …
Experimenting over a few days I decided on my favourite line down the hills east of Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.
Good fun.
It’s too DANGEROUS to ride in the street.
Even bike lanes are dangerous, especially in NY City.

Cradle of Humankind is the most popular cycling area in JoBurg. One of the few places with dedicated bike lanes.
The Cradle of Humankind is a World Heritage Site first named by UNESCO in 1999, about 50 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg …
… it contains a complex of limestone caves, including the Sterkfontein Caves, where the 2.3-million year-old fossil Australopithecus africanus (nicknamed “Mrs. Ples”) was found in 1947 …
We had a drink at the Neck and Deck rooftop restaurant.
Thanks William!
I’m a volunteer coach for the month of February.
Though Johannesburg is not considered a big tourist destination, over 4 weeks here I expect to become something of a local.
It’s sprawling, green, clean. A very attractive city at first glance.
Greater population almost 10 million.
Mountain biking the Cradle of Humankind on Sunday.
