bag. In the morning I pulled on four
shirts to keep warm. Although I didn’t
see any frost on anything I am sure it was well below freezing.
The morning was a lot of work for the crew gathering up bags
and loading luggage for the ride. I
barely was able to gulp down a bowl of cereal before it was time to get on the
road.
The group ride took the riders across the Elk Pass which was
80 kms. It had a short 10 kms climb and
then a 70 kms downhill. It looked like
a great ride. Unfortunately the pass is closed to vehicles and so I had to
drive the big van around the highway.
This took me all the way over to Longview and then down the Cowboy Trail
to the Crowsnest Pass. This turned out
to be a 5 hour drive and I just arrived in time to get the picnic out for the
riders as the first of them rolled into Elkford.
Tonight we are camped in the Elkford Community
campground. It is really very nice
except that there is no wifi.
Tomorrow is a short ride down to Sparwood which for the van
is only 35 kms. So I will have an easy
day. Maybe even get a run in.

Terry, I recognize the Frank Slide (4th photo in your series). I expect your drive on the highways was at least three times the distance as the cyclists on the Elk Pass trails. Keep up the good work!!
