Leaving
mileage
~ 1855Km
Rest
stop ~ 15Km from Hope/Yale turn off. 110 Km ~ 6 Hrs.
It was a
good ride today. We climbed a few hills (2) that seemed long going up
but seemed longer going down. Very strange. On the 11% grade down
from the hill-top fountain I hit 73 K/Hr. I swept around a couple of
curves, dragging the brakes on the off-camber one and headed down the
straight away to the flats. By the time I thought to look at my
speedo it was at seventy three point something and dropping. No
hassles from the trailer.
When I
first loaded the trailer it seemed a bit tippy & twitchy but I've
gotten mostly used to it already.
My ass
hurts. It's been hurting pretty good for the last 30 K or so. I got a
case of numb dong a little before reaching Deroche too. My legs are
achy but we'll see how they feel tomorrow. I didn't expect to make
the trip without a few aches but, this being the first day, I didn't
want to over-stress myself. The only thing I'm sure will hurt
tomorrow is my neck.
We did a
little filming today. A few roadway shots, some departing shots, and
a few shots while riding.
We had a
great campsite this night. Someone had taken down most of the "No
Camping" signs at the rest stop. The wash house had electric
lights and hot water. It was a nice easing into the camping that was
to come later.
