The Sunshine Coast of British Columbia is rather wet
This is Vancouver, from Stanley Park
So we are now in a little place called Powell River (100 miles north of Vancouver). After getting rather wet cycling on Wednesday we got a lift with a guy called Sandy 40 miles North along the coast and across to a small Island called Savary (one of the Desolation Islands). This morning we cycled 20 miles south again from the beginning of Route 101 and are now awaiting a ferry to take us over to Vancouver Island.
(Please note although we got a lift we haven't dodged any miles, and can now say we have cycled from as far north as possible!!!)

Hello Ben and Richard,
Hope you are ok - who is this Sandy, s/he sounds a bit dodgy!!!! Mum doesn't approve of hitch-hiking!!!
How is the chafing - suppose you haven't riden far enough yet. Compeed might be good for that.
Take care - happy cycling.
