We had a wonderful rest last night, throughly enjoying our nice campground. Todd's RV park is right on the water and has nice bathrooms and hot water to do dishes with! What more could a touring cyclists want! We cooked up breakfast and sat on a bench by the water enjoying it in the sunshine.... Continue Reading →
Day 111 – Kelowna to Peachland
We did not have the smoothest start to the day. We had planned on taking the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail to Pentincton, but we were naive to think that the climb and access to the trail would be paved and easier than the section we had went up in a vehicle on the weekend. It... Continue Reading →
Day 109 to 110 – Still in Kelowna enjoying the sunshine
We decided to stay for the weekend as well in Kelowna with Olya. We ended up spending almost a week but Olya seemed to enjoy the company 🙂 On Saturday we took a rental vehicle up to the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail which we had been hearing about from other cyclists on our trip. It... Continue Reading →
Day 108 – Into October and 26 degrees in Kelowna!
We can't believe it is October already. We also can't believe how nice the weather has been since we arrived in Kelowna. Sunny and warm everyday! Today it's suppose to even go up to 26 degrees! Is is finally the weekend for Olya so we are planning on spending some time with her out and... Continue Reading →
Day 107 – Temporarily back to a slightly regular life in Kelowna
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 →
