    Kamloops and Bikes

    August 5, 2022 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    woke up, must admit late around 8.45 (oh the joys of no work and no alarm clock) with a sound outside. Doug out up and peered out to discover somehow someone had managed to backed down the small gap by the side of the van to the lake and unloaded his boat and was getting ready for some fishing. Doug went to say hi and apologise for blocking the boat ramp. Ended up having a long chat to the retired guy and found out the history of the lake - farmers made it a 100 or so yrs ago. Anyway after breakfast and a nice long swim headed into Kamloops. Came across a wonderful 2nd hand shop (thought of you sis) and spent longer than we planned in there and found more than what we needed to buy. It was then back to bike shopping. Ended up finding a 2nd hand sports shop - they had no suitable used bikes but did have reasonable new ones. So we got matching bikes, and a great 2nd hand bike rack for a cash deal of $1100 which we reckon was a good deal. The fulla's were really friendly and esp. Joel gave us a lot of places to visit etc. So then refuelling, re- gasing and more groceries headed north out of the city. It was getting late so about 8.30pm found a side road and a nice pullover spot to park up for the night, probably about 30 mins out of Kamloops.Read more
