Day 6: Bromley Provincial Park to Summerland 116 km

I'll keep this short as we got to camp fairly late. Today was a
marker for Vanessa and I as it was not only the furthest we've
travelled in a day by bicycle this season, but also the furthest we've
ever gone with packs!

Today also had some of the most varied terrain we've seen so far. We
started the day in rolling pastures surrounded by mountains, climbed a
summit after lunch and following the longest and fastest descent we've
ever done, we found ourselves in Penticton looking at a landscape that
seemed more Californian than British Columbian. From there we cruised
along the shores of Lake Okanagan enjoying a slight but steady
downhill with the exception of a quick but brutal climb into
Summerland. The highway had brutal traffic, but thankfully wide
curbs.

The weather today was a delightful change. After being bogged down in
fleeces and rain gear for the majority of the trip Vanessa and I
finally got to don our jerseys and bike shorts and bask in the
Okanagan sun.

We saw so many beautiful things today, but the image Vanessa and I
choose to leave you with is a warning sign we found outside of
Keremeos. Not sure if it's encouraging or discouraging the activity.
The driver seems pretty into it...
