Early morning bike ride

We went out for our bike ride around 9 a.m. this morning because it was going to be a scorcher today. Even at that time of the morning, the air was heavy and warm. But it's really beautiful around here as we are surrounded by mountains. Chilliwack is in a valley and there are a lot of farms right on the edge of the city limit. So our bike ride takes us by corn fields, dairy farms, and even a goat farm. The smells are fantastic... phew!
The Vedder River Trail starts here at the bridge. Across the bridge is the road to the very popular Cultus Lake Provincial Park, which is south of Chilliwack.

On the way back from our bike ride, we stopped to take this picture. There is a haze over the mountains so they are not very clear.

From our campground to the shopping area is only about a 5-6 minute drive and this is another field we drive by.

After lunch, we picked up a few items at the grocery store then went to Adam & Leah's to do laundry and make supper for them. David cooked the chicken and potatoes on the barbeque while I prepared the veggies. That's pretty much the extent of our day. When it's this hot, you don't want to be outside.
