Rascals in our midst - January 20, 2015
There was no rain in the forecast, but it was certainly damp making for a cool ride! The timbers on the trestles were damp and slippery, and the hilly sections had ice melting pellets on the ground, although they didn't have much effect.
The ride out to Hatley Castle , the former home of the robber baron Dunsmuir was uneventful except that we picked up Ken W along the way. Conversation over coffee was "unfocused" jumping from the "adventures" of growing up in East Edmonton in the 50's and 60's i.e. the 1950's and 1960's, to uses for a garage other than storing a car to solving the current chaos in the Levant. There was also a brief discussion of the movie Rising from the Ashes which was the subject of an email during the week. Doug M. drew our attention to the movie and that it is available on Netflix - for more details go to Worth a Look.
On the way back, the group divided into two, with Tom & David sticking to the Goose while Ken W. and Norm L., led by Cy took the the route less travelled via Portage Inlet, then following Colquitz Creek to Tilicum Mall, south to the Gorge, stopping at the Fred Dobbs statue of Camossung , crossing the Tillicum bridge then following Selkirk Ave. back to the Selkirk Trestle and Fol Epi.
