As promised here is what Day 3 might look like. This day should be a really nice ride and would comprise of a large downhill section that takes up 50 of the 72 miles. It would almost be a day off, especially if it wasn't for a late Cat-4 into Osoyoos. But I guess we have to do some climbing. It is the Rockies after all.
The 50 mile downhill is at an average gradient of -0.3%. It's not much, but it'll feel great and allow us to go at a good pace. The Cat 4 is a 2.3 mile; 4% climb. Along the route there is the South Okanagan Grasslands Area. This should be really beautiful, provided, unlike the name suggests, there's more than just grass there.
All in all an 'easy' day, and one that should take no more than 4-5 hrs cycling.

In other news, I made it back from Houston, but not without incident. I feel a post coming on...
