We woke
up this morning and had breakfast with Faye and Andrew. Faye donated $100 on
behalf of the Parkinson Support group in Salmon Arm!
Elyse
and I drove back to the spot we stopped yesterday, and I began my ride to Revelstoke.
This was one of the most scenic rides yet! The sunshine was beaming down on me
but the mountains kept the air cool and refreshing.

trip
Scott
from 91.5 Fm-EzRock Salmon Arm caught up with Elyse and I to help us spread
awareness about Parkinson’s disease which affects over 100 000 individuals in
Canada alone! We want to help fund a cure!!!!
I also
bumped into a great guy named Kevin while taking a picture of the Sicamous, BC
sign. Sicamous has been battling a great deal of flooding recently, and they
are getting ready for the possibility of another flood. I wish them all the
best and HOPE the flood gods will ease up on them so they can get on with normal
living.

Revelstoke
seems to have some of the biggest peaks around and when we arrived in
Revelstoke we checked into the Revelstoke Gateway Inn, who kindly gave us a
complimentary two bedroom room (Thank you!!!!!). Here is their website: http://www.revelstokegatewayinn.com/
We
grabbed a few groceries from the local store, came back to the hotel to cook up
some pasta, and then had a quick hot tub! A guy we met in Kelowna said the
Revelstoke Hydro Dam was a must see attraction so we checked it out.

Finding
reliable internet service to upload these blogs has been challenging at times,
but I hope to be able to share the experience from Revelstoke to Golden
tomorrow. 150km is the estimated trip and we will be getting up extra early because
we lose an hour due to switching into Mountain
Time. Rogers Pass is part of this trip…I don’t pay too much attention to what
is ahead because I know I will complete the day no matter what, but Hell’s gate
(already conquered and Rogers Pass (tomorrow) are two of the main areas cyclist
warned me of.
Looking forward to the ride to Golden
tomorrow and we are staying with a family who is very close to my grandma, so
that should be an added bonus!
Don’t forget to check us out on

For those of you who are tweetin’ tweets, please don’t be
scared to send a tweet my way! @CoryWelsh9
Take care for now!
