We were all up and down at breakfast by 7:00 am. It didn’t take long to get to get the toasted
bagel down and get out to the trucks.
The riders were already cuing up to load luggage by 7:15. However there seemed like a tremendous amount
of milling about before everyone finally got on their bikes and rode off.
I was driving the big Ford 4X4 van which serves as the lunch
truck so I departed as quickly as possible.
The van is pretty thirsty so we stopped and filled it and were going to
hit Tim Hortons but the lineup must have been 100 deep so we drove on down to
the lunch spot.
I was really concerned that the riders were in front of us
when we got down to the designated lunch spot as we did not see any one on the
road. However the riders did take a section
where we couldn’t go and sure enough they all rolled up about 20 minutes later. The riders all pulled out about 11:00 except
for 4 riders who were not there yet.
Three of them showed up at about 11:30.
Sean had some paper work to do and was coming later so we waited for
him. It was 3:30 by time he got
there.
Yesterday’s cold and storm covered the mountains with a
light dusting of snow and they looked absolutely stunning against the bright
blue sky. It was just a wonderful
sight. The storm also had the effect of
reducing the dust on the road. So it was
a pretty nice day for a drive in the mountains.
We rolled into camp about 4:30 and helped with supper.
Tomorrow is all single track so I have to drive the truck
around the long way to the Elkford Bc.
