Well we woke up this morning and it was pouring rain.  We had decided to leave an hour earlier to try and beat the headwinds and it wasn’t windy but boy was it raining!  So we sat around and waited for a bit and then everyone got in their cars and drove to Spences Bridge and did the trip in reverse.  Everyone except me.  I decided to take a rain day as my legs were pretty sore from the previous day’s wind fest.  It turned out to be a good decision for the rest, as it was dry in Spences Bridge and by the time they got back towards Lower Nicola it had stopped raining.  

I could include a picture of me watching TV.  George has promised to send me some pictures and when he does I’ll include some here.

The ride followed the Nicola River from Spences Bridge towards Lower Nicola although nobody made the whole trip.  A spur of the Kettle Valley Railway runs along this route with the railbed intact although some of the trestles have been removed.  Maybe someday a new trail?

The longest ride was 65 km and around 740 total ascent.
