Kimberly Training Tour

Rest Day

May 18, 2022

After having a number of riding days everyone was happy enough to have a rest day today.  This worked well as the forecast was for rain most of the day, with highs of 10C. 

We were up at the usual time and still had a late breakfast but instead of heading off on the bikes we sat and watched the rain on the windows. 

Barry and I got our cameras out and went for a walk down to the river.  We got down to the far end of the trail and what had been a light drizzle turned into a steady rain.  This resulted in a mile walk back to camp in the rain which being in the mountains was downright cold.  It wasn’t helped by the fact that the wind had picked up considerably and was quite bitter. 

Back at camp we had roast beef sandwiches for lunch and made plans to head off to the Marysville pub for supper.  While having lunch I got to review Barry’s photos and even though we were on the same walk I was amazed at how different the pictures taken were.  Mine tended to be close up photos of plants and textures seen along the path.  Barry’s pictures were broad landscapes. 

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks pretty dismal as well so we may pack up and head home. The forecast high is only for 10 C with light rain starting at around noon.  The plan is to get one last ride in so I am hoping for the best.
