Big decision, go to Penticton 112 km or shortcut to summerland 94 km? We decided to take the shortcut. Big mistake. The first half of the ride was great, very little traffic on the farmland road, and it was mostly downhill. Stopped for lunch at Chain Lake and had a swim. The second half was a gravel road that was meant for mountain bikes. There was no traffic at all and we were biking into the wilderness, into bear country. My fender was getting clogged up with mud because it was raining. Of course it was. I had to work twice as hard to climb the one monster hill that had to be right in the middle of the dirt road. Very scary situation. We did get to summerland in one piece though. Went to the grocery store and was approached by Ella, who offered her home to us. Someone must have been looking out for us because that couldn'have come at a better time. Thanks Ella.
