Fernie to Pincher Creek. After doing laundry and shopping for more cold weather gear, we left Fernie at 11:46. The day started with warm sunny weather and a tail wind as we followed the Crowsnest trail for our last day in British Columbia. We headed up the last section to the crowsnest pass and went over the continental divide (and the BC/Alberta border) at 3 PM. From now on it’s all downhill. At this point we expected bad weather but the sun continued to shine and the wind continued from the west . We had great weather all day. We saw more mountains today than the last 12 days in BC.
As we descended to Pincher creek we passed the Frank Slide where the mountain side broke off and slid into the town killing 70 people. We stopped at the memorial but even 1KM down the road the rocks still surround the highway.

Hey Tim's!
Keep on following your adventure on the screen of my laptop every morning. Absolutely great! I am stunned, I am envious, my legs get itchy, my thoughts are flying around!
Great Stuff, great pedaling, great landscape, great adventure, great envy *smile*. And - great documentation!!! Already afraid of the next RTF with Tim G. -I'll probably will be waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy behind.....;-)))
Greetz and keep on going, stay healthy!!!!

Tim and Tim, great journey and can't believe your endurance. I still have the heater going in the truck to work, so you guys must be both great beer drinkers and in some kind of physical shape.
Now the first thing I do in the morning with my coffee is check in on your adventure. May the wind be always behind you as you continue.
I will go to the Beatty street today and hoist one for you both.

Leave some beer for us. We had a 40kph tailwind today and if this keeps up we'll finish so early.
