The day was forecast to be brutally hot but it can be really hard to get a group of 7 adults and 5 kids all ready to go at the same time so we hit the road a lot later than we would have liked and the day’s heat was already building. Today’s section of Highway 97 was even worse than what we had done before with a very rough edge on a 10-30cm wide shoulder. Fortunately we were able to take a back road for about half the ride into town. Unfortunately Robin, our wonderful support driver, missed the turn and in the hot sun a long time waiting to video us on the road.
In the evening we set up our booth at the Music in the Park event. We met some interesting people there including a couple who were cycling across Canada with a 15 month old baby; local citizens concerned about the city trying to put convention facilities on city park space; a trucker couple who were concerned about the ridiculous amounts of unnecessary shipping; and others.
