Ride: Lochside trail to Sidney
Date: April 30
Distance: 47.90
Cyclists: Mike and Tony
Lots of big groups of cyclists along the Lochside trail on a cool and windy Sunday. Our plan was to add the Flightline trail to the ride out to Sidney. Riding over the highway on the bike/pedestrial overpass was terrifying. My fear of high places and falling to my death while teetering on a bike with lowish side rails over vehicles going 100kph was bad. But the payoff was good...a nice spin on a paved trail with some nice views. Then into Sidney where we watched the ferry to Annacortes arrive along with three war canoes and many small boats. Beautiful setting.
