bc log day 6

today our goal was to traverse stanley park on bicycles. we rallied a group of 5, split into 2 parties. my group made about 1/3 of the way before it started pouring. we pushed ahead, hoping to regroup with the forward party at a rest station. it became colder, and windier. i thought about the warm coffee i would have at the trading post. then through the pelting rain - despair! the forward party appeared, equally soaked. they had not reached safety. we had no choice but to turn back. much like in scott's arctic expedition, our steeds because useless in the uphill retreat and we had to man-haul them. narrowly, we managed to reach civilization before i had to resort to cannibalism.
