Cycling from Marble Canyon to Lillooet

(Blog post written: Sept 12 2009)

The previous evening, I got talking to a motorcyclist at the campsite in Marble Canyon, who is travelling around the Americas to raise awareness of cell phone use whilst driving.

Its a worthwhile cause, and really, how hard is it not to use the phone when driving?? Keep your eyes on the road and watch out for cyclists!! His website is www.ridetheamericas.com.

I got going early as I knew that the road ahead might be challenging – and it was! That said, it was some of the most enjoyable riding that I have done all trip, with some of the most scenic and panoramic views so far.

On reaching Lillooet, I cycled down to a campsite where a band was setting up to play in the evening. I was quite looking forwards to it, but they proved to be disappointing.

Still, a great day, and with a little time on my hands, I cobbled together a video – Its pretty amateurish, but give me a break its my first one, and things will get better!!!
