Day 12 – Distance: 79.01 km
Three Valley Gap Lake to Albert Canyon, BC
We woke to some rain, and thought, oh no! However, it was over by the time we got outside to the van. Monique made us a peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast, then she drove me back 12 km to where I had left off the night before. She had decided to leave from the hotel. We planned to meet at McDonalds in Revelstoke, and I managed to catch up with her just about a kilometer out of town. It turned out to be a great run to Albert Canyon, and I arrived there about two o’clock, which was when we had agreed to meet Adele. We basically pulled in at the same time. After deciding about the campsite etc., I hopped on my bike again and went another 12 km down the road, so as to make Sunday’s ride to Golden a little more doable. Monique picked me up, just before I was to enter another tunnel, then we headed back to Canyon Resort (RV camping) to enjoy a soak in the hot spring fed pool. We planned to cook a can of ravioli in the campsite, but it had started to rain, so we ate a burger in the café instead. Adele and I poured the bottle on Chardonnay she had bought into a Dasani water bottle, and snuck it into the café. I suspect we weren’t totally unnoticed, but no one seemed to mind.
Rant: Washrooms that are only open between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and showers that cost $1.00 for 3 minutes.
PS – I was totally confused today – I thought it was Sunday all day. It was great to feel I actually gained a day.
