Cycling adventure #2

We decided to hire a couple of bikes so that we could go with Leanne on a cycle ride around the seawall to Stanley Park and back.  What fun!  The bikes were excellent and we cycled about 20km.

The seawall
It was a beautiful sunny day and there was lots to see along the way.  Including...a family of raccoons.


We stopped at the Lost Lagoon to admire the view.



Our trusty steeds
 
The famous Stanley Park Totem Poles
 We cycled under the Lion's Gate Bridge.

We then rode a short way on one of the forest trails. I liked the bright red fire hydrants.



On the way home we headed past the a few nice beaches towards the Burrard Bridge, through Yaletown, and back towards the cycle hire place.


And, of course, we finished the day off  with a well earned pint at Leanne's local pub, The Whip.
