It seems like most Sunday's we go out and do something bike related. We woke up early this morning and brought Will's bike into Cove Bikes for a tune up. Prior heading out, we have been talking about Dr. Fine, he's this bike that I fell in love with the last time we there. I know I already have a road bike, but a hybrid would be nice, so I can go on trails. He would have been perfect for it. So light and so fine! But when we we arrived, and after looking through the store, I didn't see him park in his usual spot. He has been sold!! Definitely felt some sadness and that feeling of my heart sinking to my stomach. I hope who ever bought him treats him right, rides him regularly and gives him a good home.. Oh, Dr. Fine!
Being in the area, we went to have a second go at The Tomahawk. Our friends joined us as well, and it was their first time there. Will had the Mixed Grill, that included 9 pieces of bacon, sausages, eggs, cheese, burger patty, hashbrowns and toast. His plate was gigantic! Don't worry, he didn't finish it all, but he did conquer about half his plate. He needed to save space for his pie.
I had the Yukon, this had 2 eggs, back bacon, served on toast and a bed of hashbrowns. The last time I was there, I saw this kid get a side of hollandaise sauce with the exact same meal. I thought it was a good idea and I did the same thing. The hollandaise helps makes the texture less dry, and obviously it adds flavour. I really enjoy back bacon, way more than I do the regular kind! My portion was pretty big as well, I saved some to be added to the box of leftovers we'd bring home.All of the portions on the menu are pretty large. A lot of the times, I feel that there's a correlation between quantity and quality. When there is more quantity, often quality is lacking, and when you get a meal that looks small in quantity, the quality is usually better. At Tomahawk, the quality does not suffer even though their plates are of quantity. So go hungry and leave happy. Let me warn you though, go early or there is going to be a wait. There is always a wait!
We had originally plan to ride Stanley Park afterwards, but with the much needed digestion and avoiding the possibility of cramps, that plan fell through. We did end up walking around downtown and visiting some bike shops though. There's always something new to see. Before we knew it, it was getting rather late. We still wanted to get a ride in, so we just headed back in to Steveston.
Our favorite spot never fails us. Seeing that it was dinner time and our previous meal lacked vegetables. We had a few beers and shared the Mediterranean Salad. It had jumbo prawns, greens, onions, cucumber and a bit of feta and goat cheese. It's pretty safe to say that there is nothing bad on their menu, but I am looking forward to the menu change in October.
Fall is upon us! It was not long ago the sun used to set long after 7. But tonight, the sun was definitely down a lot more earlier than we were used to. My first time riding home after sun down. Time to get on those reflective night gear and tail lights.
