PORT COQUITLAM TOUR

 on JUNE 16  i rode my bike from our home in DUNBAR wich i left at 11.25am and headed for the ARBUTUS GREENWAY and on to 10TH ave wich is a bike street wich took me all the way to the CENTRAL VALLEY GREENWAY and onto the GILMORE SKYTRAIN STATION in BURNABY . that ride took over hour to get to so when i got to the GILMORE SKYTRAIN STATION i got onto the SKYTRAIN and headed for the end of the line at LAFARGE LAKE-DOUGLAS  STATION in COQUITLAM . I got to the LAFARGE LAKE STATION at 1pm and when i got off the SKYTRAIN there i went east on GUILDFORD WAY and went all the way into OZADA AVE wich became a dead end street so i had to go onto this city trail and onto a bridge that goes over the COQUITLAM RIVER and onto PATRICIA AVE in PORT COQUITLAM. when i got to the end of PATRICIA  AVE i went north on COAST MERIDIAN RD and all the way to the COAST MERIDIAN OVERPASS that goes over the CP RAIL YARD and wich i got good vieu of the yard wich i never seen and from there took me onto BROADWAY STREET wich had a bike lane in it and went all the way to the MARY HILL BYPASS . when i got to the MARY HILL BYPASS at BROADWAY ST there was a traffic light wich was handy and crossed the MARY HILL BYPAS and went onto KEBET WAY wich on that street i got to see the PITT RIVER beyond the dike so i went long KEBET WAY and found the POCO TRAIL wich goes long the dike overlooking the PITT RIVER and went onto the POCO TRAIL and got good vieus of the PITT RIVER next to the PITT RIVER BRIDGE wich the trail goes under the bridge wich i did and from there i rode onto the PITT RIVER BRIDGE wich has only one sidwalk for bikes and walkers wich is on the north side of the bridge wich i stoped at the middel span of the bridge and looked at the PITT RIVER looking towards PITT LAKE . when i got off the PITT RIVER BRIDGE i  went onto the PITT RIVER GREENWAY wich was not  a very good bike path and stoped and saw the vieu of the PITT RIVER from the PITT MEADOWS side long that path i rode has far as the PITT RIVER RAILWAY BRIDGE all long that way of the PITT RIVER on the PITT MEADOWS side and the PORT COQUITLAM side is swamp land so there not much vieuing places to see the PITT RIVER from because the river has very swampy shore line from what i saw. so when i got to the railway bridge i trurnd around and headed back to the PITT RIVER BRIDGE and onto the MARY BYPASS and back on to KEBET WAY and onto BROADWAY ST wich took me to MCLEAN AVE and went all the way to SHAUGHNESSY STREET wich is a main street in DOWNTOWN PORT COQUITLAM wich i went by the city hall and onto WILSON AVE and onto the poco trail wich took me back the the bridge at PATRICIA AVE and back onto OZADA AVE and all the way to LAFARGE LAKE wich is right next door to LAFARGE LAKE SKYTRAIN STATION wich i stoped at the lake and  had great vieus of the lake wich is the other lake in COQUITLAM . so after i left LAFARGE LAKE i went back onto the skytrain and all the way back to GILMORE STATION and after break at the GILMORE STATION i headed for the CENTRAL VALLEY GREENWAY and onto 1st ave and the OLYMPIC CANADA LINE STATION wich i took it to the  LANGARA STATION and from the roade all the way home at got home at 5.35pm overal i saw most of PORT COQUITLAM wich i have never seen or been in before and saw the PITT RIVER from the PITT RIVER BRIDGE wich was worth seening but the bike sighns in PORT COQUITLAM are realy bad and i got lost on parts of there streets but i got out of it very quickly because i know some of the streets in PORT COQUILAM because my dad worked in PORT COQUITLAM and i knew the bus routes in that city so that helped alot so PORT COQUITLAM and seen the PITT RIVER was worth riding my bike to
