We decided to stay in Kelowna for a few more days with our friend Olya while we take care of our errands and get ready for our trip down the west coast. We are planning on heading out around this Monday Oct 4th (originally Sunday Oct 3rd, time is flying by!).
Day 105 to 106 – Rest days in Kelowna
We are quite a bit behind on our blog so we will be catching up in the next couple of days. Both Katherine and I have come down with a cold since a couple of days ago so we are taking it easy and recovering at our friend Olya's place. On the upside the weather... Continue Reading →
Day 104 – Vernon to Kelowna
We left Vernon feeling well rested. The weather was warm and sunny, which was so nice after several days in the cold wet weather. You could tell the area is dry from the landscape. There was very few vegetation on the hills. We stopped at a fruit stand and had a quick snack and some... Continue Reading →
Day 103 – Sicamous to Vernon
We woke up to the sound of rain on our tent, but by the time we got out it had stopped temporarily. We used the chance and quickly made breakfast and packed away the tent. As we cycled out of the campground the rain became off and on, but we had our full rain gear... Continue Reading →
Day 102 – Revelstoke to Sicamous
We left the inn feeling well rested and refreshed. The rain had stopped overnight. We knew we had a climb after Revelstoke, so it was tough to get too excited. We found the hill quite tiring. The cold and wet weather, combined with some tough hill climbing was starting to have a real drain on our... Continue Reading →
Day 101 – Glacier National Park to Revelstoke
It had rained quite heavy over night and the outside of our tent was quite wet. We moved everything into the enclosed cooking shelter and got the wood stove going. We had kept our bikes locked up in the shelter so they were bone dry. While we were having breakfast by the wood stove, a... Continue Reading →
Day 100 – Golden to Glacier National Park
Today we started from Golden knowing that we would climb Rogers Pass. We cooked breakfast and watched the high school amble in to school.

Day 99 – Lake Louise, AB, to Golden, BC
Today started out very cold, minus 5 was the low overnight. There was ice on the bike covers when we woke up. We quickly packed up and made our way to the cooking shelter to make breakfast. We got a fire going for some heat and warmed up a bit. We also said good bye... Continue Reading →
Day 98 – Hiking in the sun at Lake Louise
Today, we woke to a layer of snow on the ground!!! We took some pictures and made a quick exit to the cooking shelter, which, fortunately was nice and warm! We made breakfast and layered up to go hiking. We walked from the campground up the the Chateau Lake Louise and sat in the lobby... Continue Reading →
Day 97 – Still waiting for the the weather to clear in Lake Louise and our first snow!
We had a slow start to the day as it was once again cold and raining! We sat by the wood stove in the cooking shelter and stayed nice and warm. In the afternoon, Satomi and Tritan gave us a ride to Lake Morraine as it looked like the rain might let up a bit.... Continue Reading →
