Made it to Elkford! Has been a long few days of mostly wet/rainy weather. MUD is the element of choice as it has really dictated how fast i can go downhill, how hard it is to pedal on the flat and how frequently and often I have to get off and just push the bike uphill. Ohhhhh how different a few rain drops make! The good side is I didn't get sunburned nor ever didn't have water to filter and drink!
