Bicycle! Bicycle!

13 September

Today we met Leanne in Stanley Park for a ride. We had rented two tandems. One for Cathy and Zak and one for Emma and I. Before Leanne arrived, we went for a bit of a walk in the trees to see if we could spot a another raccoon or squirrel. We found a squirrel but he was not sitting still long enough to be photographed!
After lunch we set off around the park, it's about 9km and flat, following the sea wall path. We stopped along the way to look at things including a horse drawn wagon and 3 otters. Emma and I had fun racing Cathy and Zak and all the other people cruising around the path. I was a little worried that we might be breaching park etiquette going so fast but Emma kept yelling that we needed to go faster because the others might catch us! After we finished the loop around the outside of the park we headed back into the woods and cruised around some of the gravel paths. A few squirrels were spotted along the way but again avoided being clearly photographed.
Emma and Zak didn't want to return the bikes after such a fun day! Emma was asking if she could ride on our tandem at home but as Zak has only just gotten big enough for his first ride two weeks ago she will have to wait a couple more years...
