Day 2: Mission to Hope (brought to you by the beautiful people of Hope)

We are back at it for day 2! Leaving suburbia behind us, the Fraser valley opened up into stunning sunny views of snow capped mountains across lovely rural farmland. The highway 7 became 2 lanes and as a result the highway had way less traffic.

Through flat pastures, lots of barking dogs and cows, it was super flat and really beautiful ride. The came out in full force and despite a bit of a sunburn for most of it, the sun was totally great!


And then we arrived in hope! There is a very small climb into the town and then you enter hope which is a beautiful town nestled into the mountains. What stands out most was the kindness and generosity of the people. From the women in the grocery store who helped us tag our bulk food when we forgot, to the people we asked for directions and finally the lovely family next to our campsite who gave us 1 liter of gas that we had forgotten at the store the people of hope are amazing. Now comes the real challenge. Tomorrow we rise at 6:00 to start our


assent to Alison pass, an elevation of over 1300m!

Wish us luck!
