Day 7 - A day of rest in Nelson, BC

It was a welcome day to have no riding. The weather this morning was cold and rainy, so everyone was pretty happy to not be out there in it. It did get better this afternoon, but we all enjoyed a day just doing a little sightseeing, reading, tuning up the bike, taking a nap etc. I did laundry this morning and we went to have breakfast at a little cafe. This town is very interesting. The people are a little "granola" if you know what I mean. The girl that served us had dreads and her hair was all the colors of the rainbow. I was doing a little looking into the town through Wikipedia, and it said that this is where the draft dodgers came during the Vietnam War and that has pretty much defined the character of this town. They are really nice people here, don't get me wrong. But, many of them dress and look very crazy (Indie). I did enjoy the sightseeing. It is a beautiful place.

We have a big day of riding tomorrow. We have all been psyching ourselves for the ride today. It will be 60 miles and have some pretty good climbing involved. I am ready to get out and move again, but you always worry about it.
