June 13 – Fernie to Fort Macleod

Bike log: 161 km, 1020m of vertical, average speed 32.7km/h

I felt 100% better this morning, got up and got a good start (9AM after having breakfast at Smitty's). It ended up a great day, and finally we crossed a provincial border!

The weather started out very cold and quite damp, it looked like it could rain at any time. I had on a short sleeved shirt, long sleeved shirt, windbreaker, a hat, long pants, and cycling pants - and still wished I had a bit more on to start. But the rain held off, and as we approached Crow's Nest Pass, the wind started picking up from behind - for a change! The pass itself was by far the easiest of any of the trip, and I guess it will be the last big hill for quite some time.
