Saturday October 26 -Metrotown Leisure
Known as the “hypothermia ride,” we tried bingso last time we ventured to the Metrotown area. The latest Asian dessert fad, bingsoo is composed of shaved ice, ice cream, fruit, red bean and mochi. A meal in itself, it’s best shared. Which is why I’m leading my posse of rolling bellies to La Foret to try out this ridiculously large and caloric tower of ice cream power. The weather doesn’t justify it, but is there ever a wrong time for dessert? There are savory options for those not into sweets. This ride is weather-dependent.

Cute picture :-))
lovely fall ride. Stunning colours, especially Trout Lake which mirrored back reds, oranges and yellows. Must have been just as cold last year, as I noticed I am wearing the same 5 layers!
Was T. the only one brave enough to tackle a bingsoo?
BTW, I like this video on climbing. Any opinions?

10 riders joined me on this short and sweet ride to the Metrotown area. Highlights include marimba music in Trout Lake and lots of autumn fire. We also caught sight of someone dressed for the Polar Bear swim, with no helmet, no shirt, and no pants. He was promptly arrested for crimes against humanity. Some things just cannot be unseen.
Yes, only I had a bingsoo! It was colossal! Good thing I had 911 on speed dial.
Welcome back, Naiden. Thanks for sharing, Sharon.
