BARNSTON ISLAND B.C.

 on JUNE 19  i went on my bike from my home in DUNBAR long west 10th ave to COLUMBIA ST and onto the FASLE CREEK seawall path that took me onto the MAIN STREET SKYTRAIN STATION. when i got to the MAIN STREET SKYTRAIN STATION i got onto the SKYTRAIN and went all the way to the KING GEORGE STATION in SURREY were the expo lines ends. when i got to KING GEORGE STATION i rode from there onto the FRASER HIGHWAY wich had a bike lane in it wich was very useful and went all the way until i saw the GREEN TIMBERS GREEWAY wich goes across the FRASER HIGHWAY. so i went across the FRASER HIGHWAY and got onto the GREEN TIMBERS GREENWAY wich was a well built greenway and well marked and at one point of the greenway was a very big hill to go down wich led me into 168th street wich took me onto a overpass over HWY 1 wich i had to go through TYNEHEAD PARK wich was a METRO VANCOUVER PARK  to get onto the overpass on HWY1 wich i did and kept going north on 168th st until i got to 104ave wich is a major street in SURREY. so when i reach 104ave i went east all the way past the HWY 17 the primter road wich had a traffic light and all the way to the end of 104ave wich i got to the BARNSTON ISLAND FERRY DOCK . then i got on the BARNSTON ISLAND FERRY wich i was one of five bikers on the ferry wich is very short ferry ride and when i got off the ferry at BARNSTON ISLAND i saw a bench so i stoped there and saw the ferry from there for a wile. so after waited until the traffic was cleared i rode on the island towards ROBERTS POINT wich is a BC PARK and is located at the very west of the island its very small park just for bikers and walkers to so i rode into ROBERTS POINT and saw a vieu of the FRASER RIVER looking towards PORT COQUITLAM and PITT MEADOWS. i stayed in the park for a very short time and headed back onto the road and back to the ferry wile i was on the road i saw the GOLDEN EARS BRIDGE in the distance and kept going until i saw enough of the island so i went back onto the ferry and back to SURREY. when i got back to SURREY i went onto 104 ave all the to 168st wich had a gas station there and a store were i bought my lunch from and after that i kept going on 104ave and went all the way to GULDFORD and stoped at 152nd st and 104 ave to have my lunch at a bus stop there. then after my lunch stop i kept going on 104 ave and went all the way to the CENTRAL SURREY SKYTRAIN STATION wich SURREY CITY HALL is next door wich has a plaza for public events so i looked around there and onto the skytrain at CENTRAL SURREY STATION and on to MAIN STREET STATION. when i got back to MAIN STREET STATION i rode onto the FALSE CREEK SEAWALL and onto 1st ave wich has a bike lane and onto OLYMPIC VILLAGE STATION wich i got onto the CANADA LINE and headed for LANGRA STATION wich i got off there and rode home from there. so i got to see a part of SURREY i have never seen and got to see more of  BARNSTON ISLAND wich never saw wich i first went there with dad in 1974 and agian in 2007  BARNSTON ISLAND is a neet island to see but there not lot to see there it mostly farm land and it great island to ride a bike on wich i saw lot people doing when i was there
