The rain is not only in Spain - also in Christina Lake. Its amazing how much water a tent can hold - packed! Fortunately it stopped annd remained cool and overcast nearly all day - a major benefit for a 34k pre downhill to Paulson Summit at 1535m.
The pass itself was mundane and desolate, and the anticipated rest stop had been removed - presumably to release funding for the Olympics. Resources were available to create bicycle eating rumble strips on the high speed downhill run to Castlegar
Yvonne and Horst kindly went ahead (by about an hour) to set up camp. Dave3 had a flat which provided time for a nutrition break for his supervisory staff (Jim,Ute,Carol,Dave2)
Your humble and obedient blogger, Dave2

Hi Crazies!
I love following your progress (though following the dates on the postings is a bit challenging) and reading about your adventures. How many kms have you gone so far? Notice I didn't ask how many to go!
Thanks for keeping us all posted.

Well it won't be long to the 'Long Downhill'. Dave Johns is my Brother-in-law and we are watching this surrogately from Yorkshire in the UK.
We know that you're all nuts (technical term, you understand) but we are full of admiration. Coast-to-Coast here is a matter of about 150miles.
Per ardua ad astra! Wonderful pictures from David (1,2,or 3?)
Hi All!
Great stuff? I feel the pleasures and the pain. Brings back many memories - shades of '93. Ask Horst! Keep up the good work.
