Since we had already pedalled twenty km towards Osoyoos the day before, we began this morning at about that same spot and went the rest of the way into town. This involves leaving the Similkameen Valley and climbing the Richter Pass, over several hills to give us some practice, then a long mild incline into town (lasting about 2 km). We saw a bike store and stopped for some help with directions, and to see if they could sell us a patch kit and a back light for me, to replace one I had lost. the young man was not particularly helpful with information, so we set out to find Nancy.
Barry bike had a flat! (thank heavens it hadn't happened on the way down the hill into town, but it was there now. We decided to replace it, and then met with Nancy, and biked to the hotel.
Barry and Nancy, after our lunch together, were off to visit their son in Kelowna. I phoned my brother-in-law Dennis and his partner Adele, and we set up for me to go to their place, which is kind of on the way for Barry and Nancy. So they dropped me off, and I had a wonderful visit with them as well, nicely rounding out my family attachments in the Okanagan.
After my supper with them, Denis and Adele drove me back to Osoyoos, where I waited for Barry and Nancy to come home, and we shared our experiences before all heading to bed.
Overall, a fairly short day from the point of view of biking.
