With riding like that I might not even want to go home. Might be time for a Canada ride.

Short way??? What short way? Thought there was only one way to get home.

My only issue is I live down a one way road down the side of the lake. I work at the start of the road, so the 'long' way is any direction away from my house, then turn around and head home. Not to say I don't do it..... This ride is about 30 minutes out to the bridge just donw the road and before you see it winding back up. 45 minutes takes you back to the top of the mountain on the far side of the bridge. Just nice to get away for an hour or hour and a half some times.

This is probably one of the nicest scenery rides that close to home.

I am seriously thinking of hitting Sturgis next year. Just not sure how the body would love the hardtail after 24 hours of riding. Other then that, the bike won't be seeing the states. Any trips like that involve the whole family.....that means the truck.

Not even close my friend. That is Beautiful British Columbia! Right smack dab in the middle, just out of Williams Lake. The bridge just out of view would be the Rudy Johnson bridge.

I grew up thinking the river valley in Clay's Ferry, Ky was pretty (and it truly is), but that's beautiful! Everyday riding would be its own decompression from anything!

Yeah, I like to ride out that way just to forget everything for a bit and look around. I would hate to have city driving all the time.

Hey TI. My wife spent two weeks in BC this summer. First one just outside Victoria on the Juan de Fuca strait. The second one in Prince Rupert. She has been trying to get me to sell the house and move out there ever since!!!

Beautiful country!!

WOW!!!! Someone from Ontario that realizes there is more to our country to the West. LOL

The Island is a very lush place, the vegetation is amazing. Far too expensive for my taste, and the fact you need a ferry to get off? No thanks, I like to be land locked! Closest I have ever been to Rupert is Terrace, what was the wife doing in two very far off locations?
