27 May 2008: Day Two

Most of us had very little sleep last night, mainly because of the the trains that passed close to our campsite at regular intervals during the night making horrendous noises! We will all have to wear earplugs in future, I suppose -- lots of trains around, it seems. The campsite was very comfortable, so no complaints there. After a huge breakfast together we set off again today in beautiful sunny weather, even hotter than yesterday. We arrived around lunchtime at our next campground in Agassiz, a ride of about 70 km from Fort Langley. The site is in a beautiful setting, but has rather sparse amenities, only two showers for the whole group to share, together with all the other registered campers! After setting up camp, some of use cycled into the town of Agassiz to find computers so that we could check our emails and add information to the blog. I have written up days One and Two, but this may be the last word from us for a while. Connections to the internet are hard to find in rural BC (and also in rural Alberta, Sask, Manitoba, and most of rural Canada, it seems!) I will connect again when possible. Know that we are all well and happy -- no worries!

Ute and Jim,

Keep up the beat you senior citizens. We will live vicariously through your blog! Good luck and good weather.

Tony and Ruthy

Hi you group of crazies!
I will be following this cycle trip every non-pedaled step of the way! You are all invited to my place in Montreal for a loft party, just seconds off the Lachine canal. Just bring your worn-out selves....leave the rest to me.
PAT and HORST are my dear friends; anyone who can make it as far as Montreal will be part of the inner cycle/circle and we will be cheering you on along the canal.
I admire your craziness. Enjoy the ride and get here quick so we can show you our Québec-style hospitality...
à bientôt... on vous attend!
