Day 11 June 10 108km: 5 C; 802M vertical climb


After a rough previous day we had a late start when we left the motel at 11:00. (Checkout time and the cleaning staff was waiting). We went across the road to the Laundromat and used the dryer before we finally hit the road at 11:40. It was raining and cool, so we only got 15km down the road before we stopped for brunch and tons of coffee. Today the road was relatively level and we had a nice tailwind, but the rain followed us for the first 60 km. We did not get snowed on, but the hills around us were sprinkled with white. After a tea stop in Moyie we actually travelled 30km on dry roads before the rain started up again just before our destination Cranbrook. Once more we had to check into the motel dripping wet and register with frozen hands.

I left a message on day five , which sugested that it would take 10 plus days for the beer stock to replenish at the Beatty pub. I was there today and glad to report there is an adequate supply to address any return to Vancouver you might anticipate. May this image of cold beer warm your heart and other esential parts of your anatomy.
