There's a theme developing here

Now in Victoria, two long days of cycling behind me, around 160 miles or so. Sat pretty good, another cyclist on a ferry and commented on what I thought was a rather low snow line, ' yep been here thirty years, never know it this cold in May' good to know I thought. Met a couple of guys on the road and worked together for about 30 miles, thought I was doing pretty well given I'm hauling a lot of luggage , one of the guys then tells me they are about 200 k's into a 400k event, put me in my place. Tent and I got drenched due to a dumb pitching decision by yours truly. Today was tough, about
80 miles on the Trans Canadian Highway , sheeting down with rain for the entire journey and a lot of traffic travelling at speed, with some big climbs thrown in;all in prob one of my hardest cycling days to date. That said campsite I had planned to stay in was closed ( woo hoo!) so checked into a best western , lush that is. Shopping for long troos, thick socks and sleeping bag liner Tomorrow as it's like Brighton in November at the mo before heading into the USA .
