Made it to Golden (British Columbia!) today, which was the goal. I was in Field at 5:00 and still had 57 km to go, however long that is. I went over the continental divide just before Field, and it was quite a nice downhill along the Kicking Horse River. I did have a headwind today, which was rough. More actual hills too, especially before Lake Louise. Anyway, between Field and Golden the road took a 90 degree turn to the west, and I suddenly had a tailwind that helped along to Golden, even down that 10 mile hill, when I needed no help. I was prepared for an 8:30 arrival, bit got in just before 8.
Another big day tomorrow to Revelstroke, and then I'll be I terrific shape for an on time arrival in Vancouver!
