Farmland to the right
Mountains to the left of me
Flowers growing where it seems impossible
Today was the best day ever!!! Made it all the way to Fernie. Another 96.7km with 550m today!!! It started off a bit slowly, it was cold outside so I didn’t want to get out of the tent. I started off….but felt tired. I was going slowly, and took a few breaks. Then just up ahead I saw Louis and Martin…. I picked up the speed. Slowly I was getting closer and closer….then there was a big hill, and they got so far ahead of me I didn’t see them again.
You may wonder what I think about all by myself….well I sing parts of songs….today is was The Long and Winding Road!!!! And I change the words to songs too. Mountains to the left of me, farm land to the right…here I am, stuck in the middle again!!!
A few more breaks….and my sister kept calling me, checking up on me I thought. I stopped in Elko for an iced tea and my niece and her wife and son just appear out of nowhere!!!! I was so stunned that I started to cry! Then hugs all around. The plan then became that we would all camp in Sparwood, and they will bring me back to Fernie in the morning, so that I don’t miss any cycling!!! What a great surprise!!! Tomorrow is Blairmore at the cabin! So excited to do laundry!!!

What a wonderful surprise to have them meet up with you for the night!! It is great to watch your trip and really astonishing how fast you are getting through those mountainous regions! You go girl!!!
Smiling at your fabulous day! 😍
What a day for you and a wonderful meeting at the end of your cycle! Have a great day today !
I'm sure you will miss the mountains, elevation changes and all, but I'm sure lots of challenges are still ahead and knowing you, you will conquer them all! I love that you sing as you ride and hope all the birds, slugs, deer, elk (no so much the bears) hear you as you pass then by. Enjoy your break at the cabin in Blairmore and welcome to Alberta soon!! I love reading all your posts Lucille. xox Claudia
You really stacked on the miles yesterday and what a wonderful surprise for a reward at the end of it. Hope you have another fantastic day and just keep pushing that pedal down.
The people of Blairmore will probably have a parade knowing you, the fair weather queen are arriving today with clear blue skies surrounding you. Enjoy
