Agassiz Slow Food Bike Tour delivers
Posted by Michael Klassen on August 10, 2008 in Zeitgeist
Yesterday Stacey and I rode the 20km Slow Food Bike Tour in Agassiz, BC. While it rained from start to finish, I can highly recommend doing this ride wet or dry. Sunshine would have only added to a very beautiful day.
The photos featured in the slideshow above were all taken on my iPhone as I forgot to bring a better camera. Overall I'm pleased with the results, and they allowed me to conveniently document our trip. I recommend you click the "I" (drag your mouse cursor over the slideshow) in order to read the comments for each shot.
Each year we drive past the town of Agassiz (in the Fraser Valley district of Kent) on our way back from camping in the Okanagan. If you haven't driven Highway 7 from Agassiz to Mission, BC, you're not seeing one of the most picturesque drives in BC. I recommend that when you are in Hope, to cross the bridge over the Fraser and take the drive west on Highway 7. There are a ton of parks and small towns along the way. The views on a sunny, warm day are simply majestic.
The town of Agassiz is off the highway, giving it thankfully less of that strip mall feel of other highway towns. I only drove through it briefly on the way to the start of the ride, but I will definitely return to check it out.
Thanks from us to the organizers of this annual Slow Food ride. We'll definitely be back!
