Day 5 June 4 105km; 6°C; 806 M vertical climb; top speed 70kph




We rode from EC Manning park to Hedley West today. Most of the route was downhill with one major pass to climb. There was a great change in the weather as we sumited the last pass and headed down hill. It got warmer and dryer immediately. Tim G got up to 70 kph downhill. Unfortunately when I was set up to take pictures on a downhill, Tim had to pass 3 trucks because bikes are faster than cars downhill. We met Barry and Wendy on the road while we were taking pictures of the downhill runs. I got a great picture of Wendy also. The last 30km of our day we were on an old seldom used road. We had a peaceful 30km ride from Princeton to Hedley West along the Similkameen river. We are overnighting in a cabin on the banks of the Similkameen River

Tim and Tim, well the beer stock has been replenished at the Beatty Grill so you must be well under way. Server said about 10 days to refill. Remember that there is no hill so steep that a beer can't flatten out.
