Revelstoke

Made it to Revelstoke yesterday.  Sort of similar to the previous day - a tough, hilly morning followed by a long, late afternoon downhill into town.  In the middle was Rogers Pass, about 6 miles of pretty steep uphill.  Worse than  the hill, though, was that the road went through these tunnel-like avalanche sheds.  I always had a shoulder, but trucks and motorcycles are really loud in there - pretty nerve racking.  But, I made it up to the visitors center, and then it was a delightful 70 km drop into Revelstoke.

I has checked the forecast for a few towns before I left and was surprised that Revelstoke seemed much hotter than towns to the east.  Turns out I'm down at about 1500 ft above sea level, while Banff was above 4000.  So that explains it.

From here I'm not 100% sure of my route, but most advice has been to turn south at Sicamous and head down the Okanagan valley.  They grow a lot of fruit there, so I'll hit up some farm stands and see how BC cherries compare to Michigan cherries.
