Epic Ride Day!

My "Google Map Foo" is worse than my "Thread Search" skill so I'll leave it to you to punch in the names in Google Earth to follow along!

Today starts with a 2 hour pedal to loosen up the old bones (I'm half way through with a pit stop for coffee & oatmeal!) then I hop on the 250 for a 2 day, maybe 3, ride!

Depart Vancouver, BC and head for Whistler, Pemberton, take the Duff & Marble Canyon to Cache Creek, over to Kamloops then Chase and end the day in Scotch Creek (other side of Shuswap Lake from Salmon Arm!

I'll post a few photos and tomorrow's agenda this evening but if you don't hear back: I died in Heaven!

Enjoy and ride safe.

I guess I better get @Alex to delete this thread! Late getaway but a fantastic ride in hot temps and crystal blue skies but I was having so much fun I never stopped to take a picture! How much fun? Empty roads and only 24.2 km/Litre!
I'll be riding the same route back on Saturday but cloudy skies and perhaps showers so the views will be compromised!
Next time! I promise!!!

The 250! That route is nothing but curves and at a fast but sane 120 km/hr; the 250 is heaven on wheels!
