Today is Day #13 of The Road To Valour

The StatsTodayTotal (so far)
Distance (km)36.9736.9
Climb (m)4636473

On today’s ride I was joined by:

  • Greg Kosar
  • Bob Harding
  • Ernie MacDonald

This was a short ride with significant climbing. It was also the first day leading to 3 days without any real grocery shopping. So, while it was a short day, it was an important one.

After grocery shopping we headed over to Karen’s favourite store in Revelstoke, Revy Outdoor. Ernie picked up a new sleeping pad. Steve, the owner, helped me pick a new pair of hiking shoes – my new Italian pumps. Quite sharp don’t you think?

Then it was time to hit the road. A short ride and we got to Canyon Hot Springs – home for the night. No sooner had we set up camp before we had a visitor of the 4-legged variety. Yup, Yogi came wandering through, right beside my tent. Sorry Yogi, no picinic baskets for you!
