Journey Notes

It was another beautiful day cycling along the South Thompson River and into the Shuswap Lake area. It was shorts and short sleeves weather. I got away just after 9am and quickly got out of Kamloops. I had yet another good tail wind in the morning that propelled me to Chase, BC very quickly. There is a pretty good hill to climb just east of Chase and the wind turned around at the top of the hill so the rest of the day was in light headwinds. We planned lunch in Sorrento, BC but I had made such good time that I beat Rochelle there. Afterwards, I cycled the rest of the way to Salmon Arm. Total distance was 110km, the furtherest ride yet on this trip.

As a nice treat we met up with one of our ArtSites artists, Frieda Martin and her husband Lyle. They made us a great dinner and took us on a beautiful walk along Salmon Arm bay. While there, we saw a family of beavers busily working on various projects. What a wonderful way to end the day - great company, food, conversation, and nature's beauty!

Tomorrow it's off to Revelstoke, BC. It's just over 100km. This will likely be more hilly than today.
