Day3 Mon July 18th, 516 miles
Checked tire pressure, both tires were 1 psi less than I wnated so I pulled out the air compressor and pumped them up to 32psi in the front and 36psi in the rear. Today I plan to make it into Canada. It was Monday morning and those not fortunate enough to be riding were going to work. Riding through Seattle was again slow but once I got out of the city I was made good time. I passed Bellingham and got off the 5 freeway onto the 539 and the 546 to Sumas, WA then across the border into British Columbia, Canada.
Once in Canada I took hwy 1 to Hope, BC where I changed some currency and had a late breakfast. I then continued north through some more beautiful places, blue sky, partly cloudy and all around fantastic weather. From Hope I rode north on highway 1 to Cache Creek where I took highway 97, the Cariboo highway north towards Williams Lake where I debated whether I should call it a day or keep riding. I decided to get a little more mileage out of the day and rode on to Quesnel [Pronounced QWENEL] in British Columbia. I checked in at the Ramada Express, where they had a broadband connection. I hooked up my digital camera to the computer and was able to e-mail some pictures to my brother who was managing a website of my trip:
