Day 8 - to the top of Roger's Pass, and beyond!


Day 8: Revelstoke to Golden!
Today was by far the toughest ride of the entire trip, but no one cried of puked!

Best part of the ride was the scenery, and getting to the top of Roger's Pass!



Mark with the BC Highway crew.

Some people we met who are also organizing a ride! Their's will be for inner city poverty in Canada.

We rode 70 km up in the morning, and then 80 km up and down, up and down, and finally down into Golden




The afternoon was freezing! We rode ahead of a storm the whole way.





There's still a lot of snow at the top of the pass!


Mark and Vern at the top of the Pass!





Actual riding time for Vern was 8 hours. His butt is pretty numb!




Day 8 is in the books, and the toughest riding should be over.

Keep us going! Tell your friends and share our goal!
Let's get across Canada!  And raise those funds!

    So 8 is done...Good on you all. Watch out for 9.. Golden to Field then the tough climb to Lake Louise up the Field Hill. After Lk Louise it's down hill for a few weeks.
    Congrats Guys & Gals.
    We flew over Golden at 39,555 feet but didn't spot you. haha
