Go east, young man!

To head east Sarah found the 600k Kettle Valley Rail Trail, a former rail line now bike path. We also had a vague notion to visit movie locations, namely the towns of Hope - movie= First Blood (although the bridge was removed last year) and Nelson - movie = Roxanne. Did I ever tell you how I shared my frappacino with Daryl Hannah? Well, I was in Telluride when (Editor; yes, you have. In fact, you tell the story every time any movie topic comes up, so the rest of this tale has been deleted).

The KVR snakes it's way through aligned tunnels, over wooden trestle bridges and through 5 mountain ranges, often using routes miles from any road or other access.

 

 

 

 

It also takes you right through the Okanagen Valley, the premier wine region. It would have been rude not to sample its produce.

 

 

Cycle touring is allowed to be fun, you know.
