Today I had an LSD trip, riding my bicycle from Whistler BC down to Vancouver, BC.
First – get your mind outta the gutter – I’m talking “Long Slow Distance” not Lysergic acid diethylamide
I departed Whistler Village right after sun rise at 630AM in order to ride the busy and narrow Highway 99 before too many cars created traffic. The ride was much harder than I forecast. I incorrectly assumed it was 70-miles downhill. Rather – it was 70-miles of rolling hills with significant cumulative elevation gains. It is Sunday night as I write this so I will let the photos do the talkin!
START at sunrise in Whistler Village
Mid-point at Squamish - had a double espresso at Starbucks!
Mile 60 at Horseshoe Bay – tired from repeated hill climbs (up and down, up and down, up and down)
Vancouver finish – I’m cooked AND I did step inside that business establishment and BUT I did not inhale!
