Day 7 – Lamplighter Campground, Nixon Road, Revelstoke, BC (May 8, 2015)
I got up at about 6 and was on the road at 7:20 am. I knew I had a long day and wanted to get a good start. I rode 138 km from Swan Lake to Revelstoke successfully. No big hiccups.
I stopped and ate lunch at Grandma and Grandpa’s Restaurant in Sicamous after about 4 hours, at 11 am just about the 1/2 way point.
From Sicamous to Revelstoke was a bit tougher. There must be an elevation increase but the biggest issue was a head wind that threw off my schedule. After another 5 hours, I arrived in Revelstoke at 4:50 pm.
The trip was very beautiful. God made a special pass through the mountains just for cars and bicycles.
Today was a tough ride but tomorrow I have even further at 154 km to make Golden. If the conditions are about the same I will have to get going even earlier.
