Near the end of our ride we finally reached the edge of the Rockies! We made it through coastal mountains, desert, inner hills, and are just now approaching the last big barrier between us and the prairies.
Revelstoke is a neat little town - because it's on the border of the Rockies it has an incredible view, which I'll attach. We grabbed a hot meal and ice cream when we got here. Aww yeah!
I thought I'd try to make mention of some of the gear we took with us, and how it helps. One thing we brought is called "TowTabs". They are the size of a mint, and when you add just a bit of water it will expand out to a full face towel! It's also 100% bio degradable so you can throw it out anywhere. This is supremely handy for when you need to clean your face or crotch areas (!) after a trek, or even to wash your bowl after a meal.
We realized we completely missed our update on our Kamloops rest day, where a much needed shout out has to go to some great guys at the local Sportchek. They gathered around to go over our bikes in the shop and see if they could true the tires. The only place that gave us help that day and talk about the trip. When you're on the road, having local techs to help is amazing. You guys were awesome! Thanks!
Ok take it from me: Do NOT wash your crotch area and THEN the bowls. Doesn't make for a very good next meal. Just sayin. Use your imagination.
ReplyDeletegroooosssssssss-ahh! More pretty pictures and less explanations on how you're keeping your crotch areas clean, thanks. ;)
ReplyDeleteAt first I read Angele's comment as demanding more crotch pictures, heh.
