Day 1

Day 1: White Rock to Harrison Hot Springs

First day done. All in all, a pretty great day. We started off in light drizzle after having had honest to goodness rain most of last night...but we were ready for it. We got to try out all our new rain gear! I believe it was Tanya that commented the 3 of us looked like a cycling advertisment for MEC.

Anyhoo, so after much morning chaos, we rolled away around 10am. First stop was White Rock Pier for the must have "Pacific Ocean pictures".

The ride was pretty straight forward. Some pretty tame hills in the beginning, one slightly nastier one, then pancake flat for most of the remainder of the ride. Pretty sweet. Lots of farms. Specifically lots of horse and llama farms which I was thrilled with. :) We arrived at the RV park in Harrison Hot Springs about 5 hours and 5 minutes from when we left the Pier. Not bad for a 120km ride.

Tomorrow should be interesting as we will spend a great deal of time climbing. For now though, I'm exhausted.

Bedtime for me.
