I bet it was about the same. It is just earlier in the year and it hasn’t melted yet. It was cool though. We couldn’t stop for long as we would get chilled.

5 years agoYikes! We thought it was cold the day we did it but clearly it was colder for you.
5 years agoWe are having another great tour. We are trying staying a few days in a spot this time more often, and so far we were enjoying that. The weather is to improve tomorrow which is perfect so we are in Aix les Bains for another night to dodge the rain and enjoy the town. The lake is beautiful and so is the architecture. Wish we were having the weather you are having at home!!
5 years agoHehehe. We do get less rain than Vancouver for sure. We both have fenders (wouldn’t tour without them) but the little rubber flange on Keith’s rear fender fell off and that may have been the problem. That and the sheer amount of rain! We are in Aix les Bains and staying another night. Keith is still not completely over his cold. Very frustrating.
5 years agoI can tell you're from Victoria and not Vancouver! Repeat after me: touring bikes need fenders! They help keep your shoes and backside dry and your partner's allow you to draft (though not as close as in the dry).
5 years agoHi guys,
Loving your trips so far.......even the bad weather days you seem to keep on exploring. Hopefully, your weather will continue to bring
some warmth and little wind as you pedal on.
We are in beautiful Tofino for 5'days and it is Hot here.We have
had quite the heat wave most of the week.....more like July than May.
We love it here visiting the kids and try to help them in any way we can.
Look forward to your daily blog as you pedal across Europe. Your
pictures are fabulous.
Stay safe and enjoy.........hugs Jane

Wish I was your age and could climb like that again! Great work who got the yellow jersey?

Hi Patrick - thank you for your note. Yes there seems be be quite a few of us from the same neck of the woods. It really is fun to follow folks on their various rides ... a real feeling of community. In my research the other day I came across your blog of your trip here in 2017 so it was fun to check it out. Looking forward to following along with you in July - August.

Hi there.
Patrick O'Hara and Susanna Mulligan here writing from Vancouver BC. Not sure how we are going to keep up with you all on tour from our neck of the woods in Cascadia....The Andersons, you two, Jaquie Gaudet and the Grampies (although their tour prematurely ended). Anyways, enjoying following along on your journey. When we rode the loop around the lake in 2017, we had much better weather that you! Reading your blog is putting butterflys in our stomachs for our upcoming tour in July and August. Tail Winds!
Oh my goodness, that is exactly what it looks like!
5 years agoReminds me of The Sound of Music! "The hills are alive..."🎶
5 years agoThat is exactly what it looks like, and the way it rained it wouldn’t have been a surprise.
