Day 2 – Hope, BC (May 3, 2015)<\/p>\n
I sent a few text messages to uncle Rich just after 6 am, got packed, had oatmeal, and was on the road by 7:44 am. \u00a0The ride was part highway and part road – all had very good and well marked bike lanes (bonus).<\/p>\n
I arrived in Chilliwack at about 10:20 am and met up with uncle Rich who came to see me on his road bike. \u00a0We were extremely mismatched. \u00a0I told him that I would be slow but he didn’t quite get it until he saw my bike – his is only about 18 lb and mine is\u00a080 lb or so. \u00a0He didn’t even notice hills that I laboured on.<\/p>\n
I noticed that you really can’t perceive hills in BC like you can in ON. \u00a0Because of the mountains on either side, your frame of reference of the horizontal gets confused where as in Ontario you seem to always know what ‘flat’ is.<\/p>\n
I got a flat (a staple puncture) and soon after, Rich and I stopped for lunch, about 20 km outside of Chilliwack. \u00a0Rich accompanied me all the way to Hope before he turned back.<\/p>\n
