Okay everyone, today was another spectacular day! We are still at the cottage in Buckley Bay, but we could not sit around, we fulfilled one of our goals, which was riding to Ucluelet and Tofino, both around the Pacific Rim national park, and the most westerly point in Canada! Despite the temperature dropping almost 18 deg Celcius at the coast due to overhanging fog, the scenery was truly amazing (and we were riding without all our gear, which was excellent). We stopped at Cathedral Grove, a forest of giant cedars on the way, which was also awe inspiring. Generally we have been eating a ton of fresh seafood and really having a great session of downtime. Back on the road tomorrow! The pic on the left is of David and Liam standing in a giant cedar, and the one on the right is the rest of us by a huge felled cedar!
Happy trails!
Alice, this blog is so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us all, it is so great to see you going to some of our favourite places in the world. I wish so much we were still on the coast to share some of this in person with you, but perhaps you will be inspired to do it again in a couple of years!
ReplyDeleteHi Alice, Dave and the Bell crew! I love the blog too, it's great to share with us all. Ron and I went to Dinosaur on the bikes today - my first big trip! Hope you are all having a blast.
