total km: 750.3
Right out of Midway we hit Greenwood. It was an adorable little town with a 19th century western vibe, complete with a bonified saloon (not a pub) and a Deadwood Ave.
We apparently followed Greenwood with a climb. But it was so mellow and low grade that neither of realized that we were going up a pass until we saw the summit and elevation sign.
Somehow, our conquered speedbump was followed with a brilliant downhill that didn't break for a single flat stretch for 20 km. When we got to the bottom we were both beaming and giddy with glee. Nothing like averaging 50 km/h for a quarter of you day's ride.
Grand Forks was just after the downhill.
Onto Christina Lake, where we found a beautiful little campground (Schulli campground) where she only charged us $5 a head (cyclist's discount). There was many an RV-er, which would normally make a negative first impression, but seeing as how they provided us with complimentary wine to accompany our dinner, the entertainment of their mangy, mooching mutt Louis, and their good company, it certainly turned out to be a positive experience.
B&K
