Had a delicious sleep in this morning since we knew that we only had a short ride today, didn't get packed up and out the door until after 11am. Before leaving we were asked to check out a curious species of beetle since quoting the motel owner "being vegetarians and all thought you girls might know something about insects" unfortunatley for him we were unable to identify his particular species of beetle ;)
Hit the road during a bit of drizzle which steadily became more intense as we pedalled further, had a to pull over to rain proof my paniers ie: cover them with plastic bags but hey, gotta keep the gear dry! As we continued to pedal we were all a little nervous of the impending mountain we had been warned about by locals all the way from Hope. Jack Ass mountain finally appeared but was easily conquered by "experienced" cyclists such as ourselves. At the top we were rewarded with a great view of the Fraser Canyon. From there it was an easy cycle down into Lytton. The fantastic tailwind made it feel like we were sailing and we were swepped quickly into town. Tonight we are camping out at yet another Church Hall and have spent the afternoon exploring what Lytton has to offer, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the pharmacy stocks numerous organic goodies!
Tomorrow we're off to Cache Creek - garbage sequesteres of BC!
'Till later! - Martina
