Me at Emily's bakery in Petersburg, AK. This is one of the towns where our ferry stopped. Adorable!
Me and Aaron taking a snack break!
Our campsite the first night in Terrace, 91 miles from the ferry terminal in Prince Rupert.
Me and Kristin following the Skeena RiverWe are on day 4 of our bike trip since we arrived in Prince Rupert on the ferry.
Day one was delightful. We road 91 miles with a tail wind the entire day. We collapsed in our tents after gobbling burgers at Mr. Mikes. YUM! (My veggi ways have disappeared for this trip)!
Day 2 we were weary, sluggish but we plugged forward for approximately 60 miles before collapsing at the most beautiful campsite of all time atop a hill over looking the Skeena River.
Yesterday, Day 3, 60 miles later we arrived in Smithers and here we stay eating and swimming and saunaing and hot tubing and eating some more. We are waiting for a bike part to arrive for Kristin's bike and couldn't be more happy about it.
We hope to get around 60 more miles in this afternoon, it is the solstice after all so we'll be fine on light. I've coined the trip the burger tour and we seem to have never run out of room in our bellies. Aaron just bought a box of doughnuts, and I see him outside the window globing them so I am going to join him now. I hope to give a more detailed update in Jasper, so check back then!
Oh, and has anyone ever heard of the expression "muscles in your poo?" We were told that is what we would have after this bike trip... :0)

bahahahahhaahaha. That's me laughing at that expression, "muscles in your poo." hahahaha. SO glad you are having a good trip. Riding along the river. That was so fun to ride along the water when I was in Sitka. Enjoy the beauty. Thanks for the update.
You're gonna find burgers a staple of your diet. As a fellow rider told me last summer-- "No matter where you go in America, burgers are ubiquitous". I imagine Canada to be similar. Have fun and keep sharing!
