Ascent 376m, descent 289 = please tell me how this is possible when going from the Peel river to the MacKenzie, I mean really almost 90m higher??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance 72 (McPherson excursion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were a bit slow to get started today\u2026.not surprising after yesterday\u2019s episode \u2013 Dale was on for breakfast \u2013 it is day 12 and he had to ask \u2018where are the tongs kept\u2019\u2026.just saying. Pancakes and bacon for brekkie. There were showers at the campsite and we were able to wash our bikes \u2013 much needed!!! So much mud\/dirt in all the gear\/brake mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We came to Fort McPherson to stock up on some missing items (from the shower back up debacle). Replenished a few key ingredients (hot choco) and stopped by the local caf\u00e9 for a grilled cheese. Town is approx. 900 souls. The day started a chilly 8o<\/sup> and reached a high of 12 degrees, overcast mostly to start and the sun came out this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was a perfect day for peloton (apart from a few blasted hills) and it was Suneet\u2019s first go at it \u2013 she did awesome; after I explained that the rider behind her is supposed to be \u2018on her ass\u2019 and that doesn\u2019t mean go faster (jeez man\u2026..her cruising speed was 24 kph). We averaged 18.4 kph for the total ride. Finally crested the plateau and saw the mighty MacKenzie \u2013 with cliffs like Dover. The MacKenzie is the longest river system in Canada and is only behind the Mississippi for the largest drainage basin in North America \u2013 what a sight. Glorious! We hopped on the Ferry to jump across and started looking for campsites \u2013 in the wild as they say \u2013 thankfully we found one about 3k on the other side of the crossing \u2013 we were ready! We are up high with a view of the MacKenzie below = can\u2019t wait for sunset (though highly likely to be asleep as it doesn\u2019t happen till 1039 pm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chip\u2019n\u2019Dale are doing dinner tonight \u2013 chili and apple crumble! Best part of this was the bet on how long it would take Suneet or I to comment on their technique\u2026\u2026.2 min\u2026..and Farid (who has only cooked hot dogs) took just about 15 min to comment \u2013 HILARIOUS!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
