Day 7 - from Creston to Cranbrook - Today was easy?

Submitted by Kitty Chavarie

Hey again out there in blogland.  The day was lovely..great weather for smooth cycling. The big trucks full of stinky cows made for some gripping experiences a few times for Brenda and I as we were on the inside of the rumble stuff and it was squeezy at best, then there was the embuttment to make it even more narrow....this made for a bit of stress but here we are in Cranbrook regardless.

On mountain time now, got in early and ended up at nearly the same time anyway, hardly fair.  We all loved that we have time to socialize before dinner and hit a nearby sports store for some needed cycling supplies AND clean groovy clothes to boot!

Only two days to go, hard to believe.  This is my first experience with having to ice my knees..I guess that one mile climb yesterday did that to them (not a guess, I am sure that was the cause)  We rode through "Bountiful" today, no sign saying "welcome" so we didn't drop in.  Oh, and a town called Yahk, somehow that made me giggle. I think all this pedalling makes one delirious to some extent.

Oh I forgot to mention our delicious breakfast at a Russian restaurant this morning in Creston.  Martina and I enjoyed a double hit, eggs (real delicious eggs from a real live chicken who runs around outdoors< I am sure of that!)  Home made bread and veg.

THEN the piece de resistance crepes with sweetened sour cream...delicious.   Dinner tonight is at a golf course with the Kinsmen and Kinettes picking us up, oh going back to real life and cooking and being responsible may be an adjustment for all of us...
