Day 6: Total Mile Distance: 376 miles. Salmon Arm to Revelstoke: 63 miles. Conditions: 9 degrees, pouring rain and very windy.
Once upon a time on a stormy summer day, there were two avid bikers, Jane and Julia. These two girls set out on their daily adventure bright eyed and bushy tailed, however with sore muscles gallore. Leaving Salmon Arm they were propelled forward by a strong tailwind, causing dirt and dust to whip at their chilled, exposed flesh. The two girls found nothing wrong with this scenario, a tail wind couldn't hurt anyone, could it?
Part way through their journey a storm began to form. Julia and Jane ran for cover under the nearest tree. As the rain pounded down and the lightning cracked over head the two girls shivered in their rain drenched shorts and thin waterproof jackets. "Well..." Julia said, "what are we going to do?"
"I think we need to play the safety card." said Jane reluctantly. So the two girls stuck out their thumb and waited for the perfect opprotunity to catch a ride along into Revelstoke. The end.
**Jane and Julia did not hitchhike, they caught a ride from Julia's father. Added for effect of story :)
Tip of the Day: Sun dance daily.
How does someone who locks herself in the bathroom and then in a convenience store manage to navigate to Jasper?! Well Julia, it looks like you have your hands full. You both should be congratulated for this adventure. It sounds as if you are having a very good time together...and Julia, please make sure your mother gets home safely...I really want my weekend in Sechelt in September! Love ya both. Allyson
