Went down for a wedding. Some nice riding - got a new chain in Vancouver. The new fairing smashed lots of bugs and I think it increased fuel efficiency.
Road highlights:
The Duffey Lake Road (highway 99). Beautiful scenery, nice twisties, too bad the asphalt is about as smooth as Bryan Adams' face. It was 3 hours out of Vancouver before I could open the throttle because the highway up to Whistler is being rebuilt for the Olympics. Despite these, it was still worth it and the other way out of Vancouver is almost as long, full of traffic and pretty boring unless you know the backroads.
The 99 and the 12 north and south of Lillooet is fantastic. No traffic, excellent pavement and the scent of sagebrush filling my helmet.
Mt Begbie fire lookout 16km south of 100 Mile House was an incredible spot to see the lunar eclipse on the way back and camp for the night. Don't tell anyone, but one can ride a bike right up to the watchtower and sleep up there for the sunset and rise. View for 200km in every direction. Don't miss it.
