Getting through the rest of the Kootenays was the best cycling I've done so far. The weather was beautiful, the roads were mostly well-paved, and the scenery shifted frequently from semi-arid plains to temperate forest. I managed to make it from Nelson to Fernie over days 10 and 11 which is the best I've done for distance so far-315 km or so. I definitely felt every climb and bump this morning though. The 50 km up the Crowsnest pass to the Alberta border was a tough slog, especially with a headwind. After crossing the border the winds just got worse too. According to the info booth worker this isn't even that bad. Once a week they get winds up to 100 km/h apparently. Hopefully the wind turns and pushes me all the way to Calgary.
