As I write this in a cafe in Harrison, we feel the stiffness. Yesterday we managed 64.5 miles adding on a few because there were no motels in Aggassiz. We pulled a boner in not checking. The results of the day left sore bodies. We both slept almost around the clock and appear to have recovered this morning.
I felt pleased that we were in quite good shape. 64 on the first day is not bad. Also, the places seemed to come up quickly from our start in Coquitlam. Once we reached the Lougheed the road was biker friendly until Mission with a wide shoulder. Cars were considerate giving us a wide berth.
Somehow once on the bike, I accepted the notion that this is my life for the next few months as the bicycle will be our mode of transportation. Harrison? A pot for elderly women it appears. Talk in restaurant is about attracting birds.
In the evening as I reflected on the day, I had concerns. Loretta’s knee and sore back was one. Our fatigue was another. How can we continue I wondered. We fell asleep at 9:00 p.m. and slept soundly.
