Cranbrook to Radium Hot Springs

Distance: 146.98 km, Total ascent: 901 m, Time: 07:00, Trip distance: 1,533.23 km

Today was a big one. Nearly 150 km. Luckily the road runs through the Kootenay Valley and there were hardly any climbs. The legs felt ok, the weather was mild and the skies were clear. Three days to go before the stampede...

Snaps (more):


The valley. Glad the road did not go over those.



Nice little farm.



Close to Fairmont.



The "hoodoos" rock formations just south of Fairmont.



More rubbish scenery.



Gaby and Geoff, owners of the Misty River Lodge where I stayed. Gaby rode across Canada on that yellow bike a few years back. Respect.

Gist: A pretty good day. Three 100+ km days in a row and I still felt pretty good. I ran out of steam the last 15 km or so, but I guess it was a heat and hydration issue. My fitness has come a long way since I first sat off.
