Revelling in the Beauty of the Mountains - Day 7 - Salmon Arm to Revelstoke

It's funny how things seem to happen to me at the right time. Today, I left Salmon Arm - a bit worried about money, feeling a bit sore - perhaps I'm pushing my limits, and overall just feeling a bit overwhelmed. Have I thought this through far enough?

That's when I met Sarah. Sarah was cycling and out for a training ride, (she is training for an IRONMAN), we ended up cycling together for about 15km. While riding she mentioned a website called warmshowers.org - a website made for cyclists looking for accommodation while cycle touring (free accommodation). Well... let's just say I've joined and will likely have a few places to stay on my way across the country. This meeting was definitely kismet.

Highlights today and a correction:
- cycling with Sarah
- seeing snow capped mountains in every direction upon arriving at Revelstoke
- meeting other cyclists at the Samesun Backpackers hostel
- yummy pasta dinner
- wind at my back

* correction yesterday I said today was the day I'd be cycling into the Rockies... it turns out I was incorrect. I'm currently surrounded by the Columbia Mountains Ranges. Rockies are next after I go through Glacier Provincial Park.

I think my luck with the weather is about to change tomorrow... fingers crossed that the rain won't move in until after I make it over Rogers Pass (1327m), stay tuned...

Distance travelled to date: 724km (approximately, as once again bike is in lockup and I can't remember the actual reading - I will update that tomorrow).
