Mud Bay to Boundary Bay - All the Way

One of my favourite rides follows the shore of Mud Bay and wraps around to Boundary Bay.  There's always lots to see along the way - herons standing silent waiting for fish, flocks of shorebirds making patterns like fireworks and on this sunny January day we spotted dozens of eagles.

How to Get There:
(the dyke is accessible from many points along the way (check out the Translink Bike Map).  
We started at the east end:
- Take Hwy 99 South
- west on Colebrook Rd
- south on 127A Street
- east on Railway Rd
- park in Mud Bay Park Lot
- unload and ride west

It's an easy flat ride on packed gravel all along the dyke.  Mount Baker peeks through the clouds to the east and Point Roberts juts into the scene from the west. Vancouver's towers and mountains are to the north.  There's a small airport along the way, a golf course, farmers working in the fields and a few new pieces of sculpture.

For lunch we stopped at the Beach Grove cafe and then continued on through Centennial Park to the old USA border stop on 167th for a trip down memory lane.
