Monday 23rd April early start for a big day. Glorious weather so took my time and managed to slowly ride the entire Rogers Pass without getting off the bike to push! Nearly 4,500ft elevation in 70km! I felt like Forest Gump – must have been those painkillers I took in Revelstoke!
\nHistorical fact about Rogers Pass – it was finally completed in 1962! I share a birthday with a road! We both look a little worn out and in need of a lot of fixing up!
\nOnce at the summit it was very evident I had picked a good day. The massive avalanches of recent days were spectacular to see.
\nI continued from Rogers Pass descending at speed until another slow climb at Heather Mountain finally took its toll and I had to call it a day. We drove on to Golden and had dinner at The Kicking Horse Grill. Amazing fine dining experience. The owner Martyn – Dutch guy and excellent host invited us to have a drink after the meal – several whiskeys and lots of fun latter we staggered back to the hotel. Those Dutch really know about having a good time! Cheers Martyn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
