May 16 - Part Deux

 My bike was still dusty and muddy so I put it in the shower and cleaned it off!!!  The motel is a little sketchy….so I didn’t feel bad doing it…and of course I gave it a good scrub afterwards.  I accidentally looked under the bed 😱.  I did check the mattress for bed bugs….but the only bugs I saw are on the floor.  

Angela…I think this is my new fav wine!!!❤️❤️❤️



Oh and the boys mailed home some of their gear…23 kg all together.  They are spending an extra day in Osoyoos….so we have parted ways.  It was nice to have company the last few evenings at meal times, but I’m ready to be on my own again. 

 A big hill first thing in the morning, with up to 18% grade.  I’m going to make sure to have a good sleep tonight…have my chain oiled and the tires pumped up, have a good breakfast then tackle that monster!!!!  Wish me luck

Making great time. I don’t envy that climb. But you’ve got it.

You have got this is right. Been watching you this AM (17th) and you are knocking off elevation like it is nothing. Keep cranking kiddo. The prairies are going to be no challenge at all after this. Maybe you can run your tires soft once you hit the flat just to work up a bit of sweat.
