It was a tough day of ups and downs but I made 75 km. Numb lower back, hands, and feet. Sore arms and shoulders. Bit dizzy at times. Who said change was going to be easy.

Huge thanks to @loveheadmistress for keeping my head warm as I skied the 90km from Kimberly up and over the Gray Creek Pass(which is enshrouded in clouds directly above my sweet toque) down to Kootenay Lake for a 30 km kayak with a choppy crossing to a calm and snowy West Arm. www.loveheadmistress.com I didn't know things were still made in Canada... #kayakadventures #skiisonthekayak #winterkayaking #kayakinthesnow #kayakkootenaylakeRead more

Biking out of Kelowna
January 23, 2016 in Canada ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
Goodbye Kelowna! Today I left the warmth and comfort of my good friends place and biked 25 km on this bike that was way toooo small to Peachland. I then started walking and it started raining. After an hour the rain turned to snow and another half hour later I was skiing the 22 km to my camp in a woodshed beside some empty cabins. #hardtoleave #skiacrossbc #friendswithwheelsRead more
