Redstreak Campground, Radium Hot Springs, BC –> Fort Steele Resort & RV Park, Fort Steele, BC

Distance: 132.4km
Ave: 22.5km/h
Max: 53.2km/h

Rainy night, rainy morning, but with enough incentive I was up and leaving before the nearby crew of motorcyclists. The right incentive? Kicking Horse Cafe (home of kick ass coffee) was <20km down the road – aka breakfasting distance.

I decided not to sample beer at the brewery next door. 11am and only 16km in didn’t seem like a good combo as the closest of my shortlisted destinations was a 110km ride.

The weather improved, and with it, so did the cycling. Saw some interesting landforms (hoodoos??) and dramatic clouds. It was even hot enough for ice cream.

Today set records for most kms, and most expensive campsite fee (35$!) to date… hopefully this isn’t a trend!
