Bowser Practice Ride

Today Laura and I went to Bowser for lunch (80Km return) for practice. Our bikes were loaded with about 3/4 of the weight that we think we will have to carry. Here's a photo of our bikes parked outside the biffy at Qualicum Beach. My bike is on the left.

My question - howcumzit that I have 4 panniers on my bike and Laura only has two?

The first few days

The first days of our trip will sort us out. Have a look at the GPS profile of the Mission to Penticton portion. We go from Mission to Hope (not too bad); the next day is from Hope to Manning Park; then we will try to go from Manning Park to Keremeos (133 km) in one day!

The first hill out of Hope is the brutal climb up to the Hope slide.

Clicking on the image will enlarge it.

First Post

This is a test post to the new blog. Here's a picture of my bike, when it was brand new (before the panier racks were added).
