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!!!
