On Monday, Shanna, Jesse, Sue and Dave (Lori’s friends) and I went on the Blue Mountain Bicycle Tour. It was about a 2 hour bus ride from the resort to the mountain. This James Bond Beach, not far from Ian Fleming International Airport.

At the start of the ride the mountain was in fog. They feed you some brunch and then drive you further up the mountain where you get on a bike and start the ride downhill.

Some of the flowers near the food stop. You end up back at the stop for brunch where they feed you some lunch, before getting back on the bikes and heading down to the waterfalls.

The bikes we were riding, they had coaster brakes and a front hand brake.

The ride ends at a secluded waterfall, as it is described in the web sites, yet waiting for the bus is a whole gaggle of people trying to sell you beer, drinks, and marijuana.

Only a couple of New Brunswicker’s went swimming.

There is a guy there who will dive off the top and them come looking for tips. The back of his shirt actually says “Diver”.

It was then back on the bus for an 90 minute ride back to the hotel. Made it back in one piece after the bus driver narrowly missed some guy who decided to do a U turn in front of the bus on the highway.
