We left this A.M. around 10 full sun in our shirt sleeves bound for Trail and beyond. About 30km's out of Christina Lake we got stopped at some construction for 20 min, boy was it hot sitting on the bike
waiting. We turned off onto Hyw 3a to Rossland & Warfield and it was a beautiful ride, you really climb through the Strawberry Pass. We couldn't find any place decent to eat at in Trail so we went on to Castlegar. We had lunch at the Black Rooster Bar & Grill and the food was great.
When we left it looked like a few dark clouds were forming in the direction of our travel but we hoped to miss any rain. NOPE!! we ran smack into a hail storm, lightning and all that goes with it. We stopped long enough to get our Frogg Togg jackets on but we were already wet, oh well! By the time we got almost back to camp we had dried off fairly much and then got hit with a rain & wind storm just short of camp. Our friends Mark & Willy had closed up our tent trailer as we had left it all open when we left due to the hot weather. Just another day of biking. Then the four of us walked down for ice cream which was yummy what a treat.
And the sun was shining for the walk back to camp.
