After much time spent riding on the mountains in the trees it was nice to go for a ride up a valley. Not only was it flat and a great way to spin out the legs after my mountain bike race, but there was some stunning scenery. It was not the first time I had ridden up Pemberton Valley, but it was the furthest I had ridden. You see, the last time I had ridden my bike here was in 1980 and I was going to visit my horse. Her field was two miles up this valley from where I lived. Seemed like a pretty long bike ride when I was a kid, everything seems so much bigger and further when you are a kid. Still a great place to ride a bike, minimal traffic and amazing views in both directions.
lots of snow still on the mountains
super green fields
the wild roses smelt amazing!
wide open roads
