A sense of well-being was with us all day today. We left Midway en route to gorgeous Osoyoos with some level ground for the first ~15Kms.

Then we had two big hills up and then the longest downhill into Osoyoos until the 50Kms we will glide from Manning Park to Hope. B quipped to Y at one point that he was fine with the pace pedaling behind her, as it kept him "motor-vated" and in fact he was drafting, didn't she know!

 

We passed through the pretty community of Rock Creek, which we had not noticed on drives previously through this area. On the ~15Km switch-back downhill into Osoyoos, Y again deployed her orange parachute raincoat and it again worked like a charm as she only had to break twice on two particularly tight hair-pin corners.

After a catch-up nap at our Poplars Motel accommodation on Osoyoos Lake, we walked 1.5Km to the grocery store in town to provision for the next two days. We waded in the still cool lake below the motel and then settled in to choose photos and text for yesterday's and today's Blogs.
