Dawson Creek, Biking

One thing I have grown to absolutely adore while out riding my bike in the Dawson Creek and the surrounding areas is the rolling fields of canola, barley, wheat, etc. I am from Vancouver Coast so this is a treat! By being in the region for the summer I have been given the opportunity to see the patchwork of crops created to bloom this time of year. I sit on one of the peaks of the hills on Sweet Water Road just north of Dawson Creek and admire the many shades of yellow (canola fields), greens and browns. The back drop of the Peace Region skies amazes me as well, clouds forming and moving in many ways and speeds. My imagination can just go wild in the sky. Not to mention while riding the back roads of the area, is also the sweet, fresh smell of the farmlands. With the views and fresh air all for free in the backyard of Dawson Creek, I am very lucky to have the opportunity to observe and experience this season here in Dawson Creek. Until next time… Happy Chains!!

In my couple of months here visiting Dawson Creek there has been a copious amount of times that I have biked past this café on the side of the highway about 20km south of Dawson Creek and it always has numerous trucks parked outside. I thought to myself where there is many, many work- trucks stopping for food there must be great food. So I planned it the other day to stop in at the Lone-Wolf Road House Café for breakfast. It is only an hour long ride up and out of Dawson Creek which definitely works up an appetite, or a 5-10 minute drive. Here you will find the biggest and best omelet made, on the spot and to your liking. The pricing will definitely be to your liking as well! The café has a nice patio to sit on and enjoy your meal. They have daily specials to indulge in and leaving you feel super satisfied. Not to mention they have fresh baked goods for sale and always a fresh cup of coffee to go. I recommend this place to the hungry individual who likes to get a good ‘bang for their buck.’ Until next time Happy Chains!!
