Spring Return of Critical Mass

The last Friday of April brought the return of the Prince George Critical Mass.  I arrived at the meeting place by 5:15.  I was just about ready to give up and go home at 5:30 meeting time, when all of a sudden, people started showing up!

New Continental Touring Plus tires

Bicycle with the new tires on

 I had yet another flat today! Again I was grateful to have a beater bike backup to get to work.

After work, I decided that it was time to invest in a new pair.  I wasn't sure what the bike shop would say about it, but when I told them I was getting lots of flats, they agreed that it was time for a new set.  I had just over 5000 kms (just over 3000 miles) on the old pair.  Those tires came with the bike when I bought it, and so probably were a cheap $18 tire.

Bike & Geocache Fail

Crossing the Fraser River

Happy Easter everyone!

It has been so nice out this weekend, that I thought I'd give it another go at geocaching around town with my bike.  I biked out to the BCR Industrial Site, just South of the City. This is where the trains go through, load and unload.

On my way out, a group of cyclists speeding away in their lycra and fast bikes, went past me.  I imagine that they are from the local cycling club.

Gold Geocaching Adventures Part II

Found me a big Gold Nugget!

When I last left you yesterday, we were driving to Quesnel with some geocaching stops along the way.  Quesnel is about 130 or so kms South of PG.

A Gold Geocaching Adventure Part I

While exploring Quesnel, we found some cool Murals.

Yeh!  It looks like Spring is here!  It was a warm sunny day, the first that we've had all year.  Sure, we've had lots of Sunny days, but the cold wind would put a damper on it.

What better to do then to have some Geocaching fun and hit the road at the same time.  I've been itching to do a little road trip somewhere, and this helped sooth the itch for a while.
