Well the first week has passed and we are still as up for the trip as we were on day 1. We left Catherine and Drach's house in Merritt and headed off on a fine sunny day to Kamloops, which is classed as a city in Canada, but would probably pass as a small town back in the UK. Today's ride was the most beautiful of the week so far. The landscape was a mix of green and desert sand and the road we took went alongside beautiful lakes. We stopped for lunch on the shore of one of the lakes and Agnes went for a 30 second dip as the water was freezing. I wimped out as their was only one thing on my mind at lunch time. The ride today was very flat except for a 4km climb 20km outside of Kamloops. Made it up with no problems and I am now officially feeling confident about my fitness for this trip.
On the way to kamloops we met Bonita who was cycling in the other direction. We started to talk to her and it urned out that she lives in Kamloops and she has cycled across Canada before. Bonita very kindly invited us to stay at her house with her family. We accepted and here I am now writing my blog on her computer.
They are giving us some very useful tips and Gordon is helping us out with a few bike problems.
I'm feeling very lucky at the moment and very happy. We head out to Salmon Arm tomorrow where we will be staying with John who is a friend of Catherine and Darch.
