Rest day in Hope.: In hope of what...?
I'm struggling to remember the last time I had a day when I didn't ride anywhere, it was probably in Astoria, Oregon, so today has been a day I have busied myself doing nothing. Nothing except looking after my 3 travelling companions; body, mind and bike. That has meant lots of sleep, lots of food and tea, and lots of love and affection dished out to my bike with a good clean, new brake pads, and swapping the front and rear tyres over as the rear is wearing faster.
Fortunately, being in Hope there isn't much to do which has aided the day of rest. Hope is renowned for it's wood carvings all over town, which I think is a shame, as it should be the Blue Moose Cafe which it is famed for. It has a great selection of teas (and some coffee too), comfortable chairs, good music and free wifi. What more does a touring cyclist need?
