No longer frightened by corners!
As my riding buddies are all still 'working stiffs' and couldn't come out to play, I decided to ride to Lillooet today.
I took a few pictures along the way. I still don't have a Go-Pro, but at least these should give you an idea of the excellent riding 'in my backyard'.
Headed out of Kamloops - a good start.
Decided to stop at the Kamloops Lake lookout - I usually zoom right by.
Kamloops Lake is actually part of the Thompson River. After passing through Savona and over the bridge, the lake goes back to being a river.
Decided to take a quick side-trip to Walhachin (pronounced Walla-sheen). Not much to see, the hamlet has one street, a handful of houses and a small museum.
A few years back it was taken over for an episode of 'The X-Files'.
Now that's a nest!! Momma took off and sat in a tree until I went.
Nice river views.
Back on the highway and on to Cache Creek aka Crash Creek and Crotch Creak
Not much to see there, so I head north then west.
The following pictures are of Hwy 99. Known as the 'Sea to Sky Highway', it's a great ride to Vancouver via Lillooet, Pemberton, Whistler and Squamish.
Oops!
And here we are.
There are three bridges into Lillooet, the old wooden road one, the newish concrete one and the railway.
I can't resist a GOOD bakery. This one is run by a bunch of German ladies. Before heading home I loaded up on some excellent baking.
Enjoy!
