Hey everyone, sorry for not updating. We had some long rides and we didn't really have time for me to sit down and upload pictures. Don't worry though, I have a ton.
Our first day of real riding was not bad. We got lost around Vancouver alot but that was a good thing. I can't describe how well kept their parks were. The ferry that took us off of Vancouver was fun and I met some great people. Conner, Corey, and Cam were all touring. It was very interesting that none of them were ever into biking in the first place. They just picked up their things and went.
There was an enormous hill right after the ferry. George, the man, got up the hill fine with his powerful legs. Heidi, Conner, and I walked up the hill. Very demoralizing. Conner with his super long legs got ahead of us and went to camp. We had to stop at a bike stop because George's pedals broke and he had to spend $100 for new ones. The guy at the bike shop was really nice and stayed after closing to fix his bike. We got into the campsite late, but we got cooking and everything worked out for the better.
The next day we woke up and it was raining. A true test if we were in this trip at all. We suited up, broke camp, and got on the road. It was raining so hard on the downhills that we were blinded. We got in safe to the next campsite, after 45 miles.
We got up early the next day because we were afraid it was going to rain again. Also it was the longest day ever, 75 miles. We made it though. Many great shots and nothing bad happened. I'll update later with more pictures.
Sorry for the brief summary but I'm at some Nature house at the campsite so I can't plug in my own laptop to put the pictures up. I'll try and get to a lovely starbucks and do that today or tomorrow. For sure tomorrow because we'll be in Victoria on our way back to the US.
