Day 2, June 21st

We left Surrey and found an IHOPE. I had 5 eggs and a 3 glasses of OJ. We all wear bike shorts, and the looks that we got were priceless. I doesn’t help that Brett is always stretching his injured leg out! Our goal for today was Chillawack.

It took us awhile to make it to Abbotsford and then Chilliwack. Brett and Vanessa are becoming quit proficient in the riding of the tandem, but we are still going fairly slow. We took the highway 1 until Abbotsford and then got on this sweet bike path until Chilliwack. We got into town at around 9:30pm. After a search for campgrounds, we decided to sleep in the van in a Walmart parking lot. We weren’t the only ones, so it wasn’t a big deal. I had pretty good sleep actually. This trip so far had reinforced my respect for our driver, Allan Hall. He has been very dependable and good humored.

Our goal today is for manning park, past Hope. Brett is riding his own bike today. We hope that everything goes well with that before we start tackling the Mountains of the interior.

Sounds like quite the start to the adventure!!! I'll look forward to reading if you can lose your fellow bikers again and if Brett's knee holds out. Keep safe Kelly.
