On Sunday, May 16, Doug did the ride from Christina Lake to Castlegar. A tough, rough 30 km hill climb up to Blueberry Paulson Pass commonly known as Bonanza Pass. 5 hrs climbing, riding 30 km to 1535 m. Hail and snowboarders at the summit. A well deserved Dairy Queen Skorr Blizzard in Castlegar.
Doug will most likely ride to Trail today and take a rest day in preparation of what might be the toughest ride in Canada. (well, so far) I figure it's better to NOT know what's ahead so wouldn't give him too much information on elevation gain and grade. Or, he may just want to get it over with and head out toward Creston from Cranbrook. Watch the Where's Doug Tracker on the website www.dougsride.net.
If it's a rest day - then Doug will write on this blog. Stay tuned!

Hey Doug... it's a scenic ride out through Nelson... take the ferry to Crawford Bay and whistle into Creston without even touching the bump in the road between Salmo and Creston that no one seems to want to mention... oops... did I just hear someone say SkyWay? Good luck on your journey. Ride safe. Mountain Runner
