Day 5 – Kimberley, BC

Brrrrrr!!!!  It is cold in the mountains!  Sometime in the middle of the night I checked the temperature online with my Blackberry and it was a balmy 2 degrees Celcius.  I still froze under a sleeping bag rated to -7 degrees Celcius, a down duvet and merino wool thermal underwear.  We were originally thinking of staying at the campsite an extra night since it was a beautiful spot, but the nights are just too cold.  I think summer just might be over…

We talked to the bike shops in town and we’re not finding the trails here all that appealing.  Plus after a sleepless night, I’m just not feeling like riding although I know I’d feel better once I was on the trail.  After debating whether to ride or not to ride, we decided to spend the morning checking out the town of Kimberley and make our way to Creston, BC.  I don’t remember a whole lot about the drive though, I kind of doubt I was conscious for most of it, however we did find a pretty sweet campsite for the night.  We’re right across the street from the Columbia Brewing Company.  Nice!
