Day 6 Canada day.

Happy Canada Day everyone. 
Alright. I guess my title may have been a little misleading. And the pick of the long horn sheep is from 2015 at radium hot springs. I feel better now. 

Packing up the trucks. 

Look at this group leaving last again. Snazzy new jerseys we received last night. 

Riding along the lake all day long what a great ride. 

This pano view gives you a bit of an idea what was beside us   

Today I just about said hi and happy Canada day to everyone we passed by. This lady was interested in what we were doing and in true Canadian fashion said she was sorry fir not having any money for the cause. Well I told her no problem she could give online and I gave her a card. Just before this we went to a bistro for the best carrot muffin and strawberry cream puff. Apparently this shop just opened in 2005 when the first ride came through. Voted best coffee shop three years running.  Good choice to stop. 

I finally passed my first McDonald's on day 6. Worst part is I actually passed it by. 

Stopped at carries stop  to get water. Still full from the bistro.  

We had a real nice down hill stretch and with Paul and Rubin we were ripping. Came to the middle of this bridge and stopped for some pics. 

Next stop was a church for lunch. 

Not impressed with the pic. 

Who are all these people. We got here so quick that we got to see a bunch of people that we haven't seen in a while. 

Paul was sporting his Canada socks.  

Some people fixing a flat before getting back on the road. 

Back on the road we passed the slofstras three. 

Screaming along the the shore we stopped at Christine's rest stop and put our feet in the water to cool off. As the day went on it got hotter and hotter.  

We passed a bunch of old tractors. 

On some of the last highway stretch we had a great view but Ian got a flat. He had a wire in his tire so we put a new tube in and headed for the school on the otherside of Vernon. Who would have ever thought there are so many nice places along this valley.  

Crazy how nice this is. Deffinatly blessed to be riding in this place. So today's stats are. 6 hrs and 40 min  journey time. 110 km max speed 74.61.  3143 feet ascent. 2972.4 decent.   So the summary is   An up and down day , smokes hot.   Looking forward to an off day tomorrow.   Still getting used to this new blogger app.  Sweaty  Len

  3. Enjoy your day of rest. So well deserved after being in the saddle on warm hilly, mountainous days.
