Alex’s Bike Trip

posted by alex on Jun 13

So let’s see, I’ve been through quite a lot of ups and downs lately. Weather wise things are looking up though. I left Hope late on the 11th, the cold rain didn’t help. Thankfully, it stopped raining when I started doing the serious climbing on the Crowsnest Highway #3. I climbed two mountain passes on the 11th above or around cloud level 1400m.  The largest being Allison pass at something like 1450m which is higher than Roger’s pass. I was extremely glad to make it that night to the Coldspring campground. What a rough day that was, I ended up spilling all of my food on the ground and I had almost nothing to eat at the end of the day. Waking up on the 12th, I had a huge headache and I spent the night before trying to warm my feet the best I could. By the grace of god, the Manning Park resort was only 2 clicks out and I got the chance to warm myself up at their hot tub. I seized the opportunity to take a day off at the hostel they have over there and I took advantage of their facilities 🙂 At the hostel, I met Chris who runs the place. He kindly offered me some food and we chatted plenty. I am now at the Princeton community center posting to the blog and picking my classes for next semester! I should be in Karemeos by tonight but if I feel tired I might stop at Stemwinder Provincial Park.
