Merritt


So Sorrento was a great break and my day to Kelowna was a great trip. Farmer Dave gave me some yummy cucumbers for the trip and I readily enjoyed them on my breaks. I did have nasty pain in my tummy in the morning which really troubled me but was gone by noon.

I spent the afternoon in Kamloops by the river the gorgeous park and about 2 it got cloudy so I took a chance and kept on biking. Kamloops is 535m and I was sent to a camp ground called lake le juanne. Which I was sent on a back road to get there. I thought at time that t&e climbing would never end. I was so certain I was on a wild goose trail. But by 7pm I finally finished the 30km hill and made into the camp barely. Where I had a snack, set up my tent and crashed for the night. And the best part is that most of the hill climbing was done so the ride today to Merritt has been not to bad.  

Well phone nearly charged so I am about go get to Hope or at least the summit today. I biked 110 km yesterday and so far 50 today. It's another 115 to Hope and at least 50 to the Summit so either way I have a lot of riding ahead of me today.

Please remember 1 in 6en will het prostate cancer. You can donate to my ride by going back a few posts and I have a link on the posts prior to the ride to Vancouver.
