Red Robin Day

Spent all most of the Day Slogging it up Mt Fromme Did Seventh Secret a couple of other runs, to the bottom and then rode right back up to Expresso. Did some skinny stuff on there and surprised myself by not falling off.
Despair- I'd only ridden half way to Mt Fromme on the Road, then you still have to go up it!
Mt Fromme Expresso - Some of the easy Shore riding

Headed back to meet doug and count the seabus to downtown to meet Karen for Dinner went to Red Robins, yes I know another burger but what a burger easily best so far 9/10 9.5 if the meat was a little warmer!
Trying to have a conversation with Karen around the starter was a bit of a problem.
Beer & Burger and it looks like the picture on the Burgerizer!
Doug giving his Bleu Ribbon Burger the thumbs up!

Wandering North Vancouver

Crossing the road in the UK is taking your life into your hands here its weird and unnerving people in cars just stop for you!! They actually expect you to walkout in front of them between those two parallel lines. Most pedestrians here don't even bother to look if anythings coming, just weird.... Wandered through the Native area of town was a bit of a dump by comparison to the rest of North Vancouver. Ended up in a few shops found the shorts I bought on Saturday at half price so now i have two pairs, D'oh! and I wonder why i have no cash. Wandered around a few typical supermarkets comic and surf shops seem reasonably priced, unlike the bike shops the spares are about 40% more expensive they need a CRC here!


Burger time again, one because it was the only place around I went to Mc D's, much cheaper than the UK but the burger was in an anemic bun and wasn't that tasty either can only give it a 3/10. And just like the film said, the drinks are massive this a medium aka large in the UK, am so glad i asked to see the cup first I never would have lifted a large off the counter...

Mc Donald's "Am Lovin it" ? maybe not...

Mt Seymour CBC trail

Doug and mark took me up to CBC trail on Mt Seymour today after i had spent far to much money in the Cove Bike shop. Was pretty amazing, Glover will be kicking him self that he went to Morzine over this place he would be in his element. I gave the shore stuff a try its a bit "1 Pee 2 Pee" to did quite a bit of it but some was well out of my league. I was amazed by the speed that some of the locals were doing the high level stuff, I was in awe... carful don't wanna add a "some" to that word just yet


On my mission to search out strange new burgers I can say that A&W were poor, a mere 5/10 and thats only because I was starving, the root beer was good tho.
