Any one brave Princeton? I almost went but slept in. Spent the day putting the sidecar back to one piece, so at least accomplished something as the rain pattered down. . Now I see Kaslo and the BC Beemer rally are cancelled. I had plans that are now Foiled Dam'ick!! Can't even make Redrock as it is on my Grand daughters first Birthday. I think 2020 is a total wash

I'm sad to say that your observation is correct. This has been one weird year. I don't know of anyone who went to Princeton. The weather didn't turn out to be the Armageddon they were predicting, but it did rain here in Kelowna just about all day.

On the other hand by waiting a day, Adrian, Bill and I had a great ride on Monday. (I may like this retirement after all) We rode to Nakusp via Hwy 6 for lunch. We then returned to Kelowna via Slocan, Hwy 3 and Hwy 33. It was right around 700 km and we got home about 9 PM last night. (lots of rest stops as none of us have ridden that far this year.)

One of the very few advantages of the pandemic is that traffic was very light for the whole route. We kept reminding ourselves that we have some of the best riding in the world at our doorstep here in BC. Not a bad time to take advantage of it when so much else is closed off.

The executive is currently looking to find some alternatives to fill in the void over the next few months. Wish us luck and I hope to see you on the road soon.
