The Art of Cycling

Jeannette, Francien, Judi and I 

started up the hill 

at Myrta Hayes pottery studio, 

cycled along Alderside Road 

to Gay Torlay's amazing studio, 

headed up the hill to Tammi Pilon's, 

and followed the creek to Maggie White's. 

La Mercante made a delicious lunch 

and then we explored 

around Queen's Street Square, 

visited Alison Philpott 

at Sheila Francis' renovated heritage office, 

and smelled the flowers at Vivio. 

We found Mr.Glenn Atkinson 

at the Perry Roe building, 

stopped in at the old City Hall gallery, 

the little yellow garage studio 

of Martha Melmetis 

and the saw the Spirit Bear sculptures 

of Ross Agro. 

In time for tea and scones 

at The Muse, 

we enjoyed a Korean concert. 

Over the new bridge, 

a stop at the Electronic Arts 

and back to our cars at the Rec Centre.

Port Moody is now the City of the Art of Cycling.
