 Aaron and I drove to Naksup Hot Springsand set up the trailer. The boys cycled 45 km from the Monashee Summit to the Needles ferry on Arrow Lake. When everyone arrived we went to the hot springs. It was so relaxing.

Aaron and I rode today. Len woke us at 6 am and took us up to the Monashee Summit so we could do the same  45 km  on the single trikes as they did yesterday on the tandem. It was a spectacular ride but we unfortunately had a fierce head-wind so we had to work to enjoy the thrills. We then packed up and drove to Golden BC. Dinner was BC Coho Salmon at the Golden Rim Inn where we watched the sun set behind the mountains. Highlight: the 50+ motorcyclists who were raising money for Kids with Cancer and delivering teddy bears to “Kids with Cancer”.

Richard and Aaron rode 103 km to Radium Hot Springs.

Len and I rode the single trikes to Yoho National Park. I stopped to take too many photos so it was 2:30 when we arrived. The cycle back was more downhill than uphill so we arrived back in Golden at 4:15 pm. The 6km downhill at Kicking Horse was terrifying. My fastest speed was 49 km as I was afraid to go much faster on the twisty windy roads. The highlight was the Bighorn sheep. The watermelon Anna had waiting for all of us was sweet. Dinner of spinach salad, bbq chicken and herbed potatoes were equally welcome. Highlight: the Bighorn sheep and meeting another cross-country cycle tour raising money for Kids with Cancer.
