Day 8: Blue River-Clearwater

Last night in my cabin, I heard the rain drumming against the metal roof basically all night. I planned to leave a bit later in the morning to wait for the rain to stop. So it was the latest start for me so far on this trip at a quarter past ten.

I had a mixture of sunshine and many rain showers during my ride today. I stopped for lunch in Avola because they have a supposedly world famous burger. But that one was so and so.

The last thirty minutes to Clearwater were very wet. So I am glad I can stay in a motel tonight.

After a couple of days in rather flat terrain, I’ll return into the mountains tomorrow, the Cariboo Mountains specifically. It will be a long day.

For statistics friends: I saw another bear today. So the bear count is up to four on this trip. This one crossed the road 100 metres in front of me. But I was going uphill, so by the time I came there, the bear had disappeared into the bushes already.
