The weather cooperated perfectly for our May Sunday Run.
Despite the fact that this run was not on our regular run day, there was still a pretty
good turn-out of vintage cars: 17 vintage cars, 4 modern and 32 people.
|
Heinz's run followed West Burnside, Tillicum and Gorge Road West to Admirals Road. We crossed the Craigflower Bridge (known for Reena Virk's murder in 1997).
|
|
|
We continued on Craigflower Road, back to Tillicum Road and across the Gorge Bridge (known for the reversing falls). |
|
We followed Gorge Road to Bridge Street and then Bay Street -- crossing over the Point Ellice Bridge
(known for the streetcar disaster on May 25, 1896, in which 55 people
were killed -- one of the worst transit disasters in British Columbia).
|
|
Carrying along Tyee Road to Esquimalt Road and then over the new
Johnson Street Bridge (this new bridge is the largest single-leaf bascule
bridge in Canada and one of the largest in the world -- just less than 46 m).
 |
|
Staying on Johnson Street, we drove through downtown, up to Blanshard Street,
then onto Cloverdale and Maple Street.
Heinz had arranged for our group to meet at the Bin 4 Burger Lounge. 26
people stopped by for refreshments and fellowship.
