However, come Saturday morning, and it was raining. So, with Sunday still looking sunny, I decided to just chill-out for Saturday and go for a ride on Sunday to <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?saddr=Burnaby,+British+Columbia&amp;daddr=Winthrop,+WA,+USA&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=48.388178,-120.131378&amp;sspn=0.367526,1.054001&amp;geocode=FWV67wIdnJGr-Clzg5whqHeGVDFpsVKHc3IK3Q%3BFeO24wIdrBrW-Cmrarkjpq-cVDGNUsNiM5pEKA&amp;mra=ls&amp;z=9\">Winthrop, WA<\/a>. Again, come Sunday morning, no sun at all, with possible showers. The forecast did &#8220;predict&#8221; a sunny afternoon. So, I opted to go for a ~230Km <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?saddr=Burnaby,+BC&amp;daddr=Bellingham,+WA,+United+States+to:WA-11+N%2FChuckanut+Dr+to:Chuckanut,+WA,+United+States+to:Fairhaven,+Bellingham,+WA,+United+States+to:Burnaby,+British+Columbia&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=48.894518,-123.237762&amp;sspn=0.727712,2.108002&amp;geocode=FWV67wIdnJGr-Clzg5whqHeGVDFpsVKHc3IK3Q%3BFQED6AIdX_qy-CkXh0XyLpaFVDHw4DnNqZx61Q%3BFeLb4wId1kG1-A%3BFT-U5gIdvAuz-ClJEQedh5-FVDEz-qfGtWgdlg%3BFVNh5wIdq7Gy-ClNjY5iIqKFVDHqt3QDb1-nQg%3BFWV67wIdnJGr-Clzg5whqHeGVDFpsVKHc3IK3Q&amp;mra=ls&amp;z=9\">short ride down to Chuckanut, WA<\/a>. I&#8217;ve never been down that area. It&#8217;s rather a very calm ride. To get there, I went down the I5, stopped by <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?q=Lowe's+%40+Bellingham,+WA&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=48.770899,-122.460823&amp;spn=0.04418,0.13175&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=A\">Lowe&#8217;s @ Bellingham, WA<\/a>, where I picked a couple of <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.dupont.com\/Consumer_Lubricants\/en_US\/products\/lubricants.html\">DuPont Chain lube<\/a>. This product keeps receiving great <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webbikeworld.com\/t2\/motorcycle-chain-lube\/dupont-teflon-chain-lube.htm\">reviews<\/a>. So, I thought let me get a couple of cans, to try it out myself. Then, from Bellingham, WA, I rode down to the Chuckanut\u00c2\u00a0junction in <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?q=Alger,+WA&#038;hl=en&#038;ll=48.715431,-122.582703&#038;spn=0.730315,2.108002&#038;sll=49.891235,-97.15369&#038;sspn=45.962854,134.912109&#038;z=10\">Alger, WA<\/a>, then headed North on Hwy 11, aka Chuckanut\u00c2\u00a0Drive. Chuckanut Drive kind of terminates @ <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?q=Fairhaven,+WA&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=ca&amp;z=14\">Fairhaven, WA<\/a>. The latter being a nice little town, a nice place for a breakfast\/brunch\/lunch\/dinner stop.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?f=d&amp;source=s_d&amp;saddr=Burnaby,+BC&amp;daddr=Bellingham,+WA,+United+States+to:WA-11+N%2FChuckanut+Dr+to:Chuckanut,+WA,+United+States+to:Fairhaven,+Bellingham,+WA,+United+States+to:Burnaby,+British+Columbia&amp;geocode=FWV67wIdnJGr-Clzg5whqHeGVDFpsVKHc3IK3Q%3BFQED6AIdX_qy-CkXh0XyLpaFVDHw4DnNqZx61Q%3BFeLb4wId1kG1-A%3BFT-U5gIdvAuz-ClJEQedh5-FVDEz-qfGtWgdlg%3BFVNh5wIdq7Gy-ClNjY5iIqKFVDHqt3QDb1-nQg%3BFWV67wIdnJGr-Clzg5whqHeGVDFpsVKHc3IK3Q&amp;hl=en&amp;mra=ls&amp;sll=48.894518,-123.237762&amp;sspn=0.727712,2.108002&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=48.866522,-122.654114&amp;spn=0.903375,1.782532&amp;z=9&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was originally planning to tour the South of Vancouver Island, BC this weekend.
