DAY 7 DAWSON CREEK TO FORT NELSON

After breakfast it was apparent that the rain was here.

Suited up in rain gear, warmed up six very cold bikes and headed into the storm. The kind of riding that really isn't comfortable but pushes you to be hyper aware and just makes you feel alive. Wrapped up in the cocoon of the rain gear, tires slinging water riding closer to the edge.


There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor 
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm 
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down 
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground 
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart 
Blow away the dreams that break your heart 
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted


Springsteen

When we stopped for lunch the weather had cleared and it was time to strip off the rain gear, eat a hearty lunch and head on down the road.


The road was in great shape, heavy forests of deep green, puffy white clouds and just a great afternoon getting to Fort Nelson.

We finally got rain today! And it was a monster monsoon. Our recycling bin was blown down the street sharing its contents with the neighborhood. One of our neighbors was sweet enough to bring it all back home. Fortunately we still have all our trees. Be safe! xoxoxo
