Safe and sounnd in Inveremere. Today was a battle. The road out of Cranbrook was awful…so beaten up that it shook my bike so hard that a water bottle shot out and had to be retrieved from down the road. After that I had to listen to an awful creaking for half the day as the bottom bracket had clearly absorbed too much of the drinks from my bottles. Perhaps it had been the same way yesterday…today my ipod was out of charge so I could hear it loud and clear.
The scenery, though, was amazing as ever around here. Once the road switched to a different highway the shoulder became much better and a lot of the unnecessary shaking stopped.
Of course then it turned to a head wind. The last 30 km or so were a real battle, sapping large amounts of energy. Still, we have only one day to go. Today we also passed a massive marker…we have covered greatly in excess of 1,000km since leaving last Saturday, hard to believe already!
Hi James. Congratulations on doing such an amazing ride helping build further awareness of CF and raising funds. Your commitment to this terrible disease is amazing. Thank you very much. Enjoy your final day of riding and safe journey back home.
