Day 3 Merritt Kamloops Westbridge

Great day!!!!  After a very good and filling breakfast, we started up Hy 5a through the Nicola Valley. Th weather was great as were the roads. This is cattle country and the breed that was dominant was black angus. The road was very good for bicycles and the traffic was light. We stopped at the gate to the Guichon Ranch where Kanji spent part of a summer when he was a kid. Great memories. The only strenuous climb was for 3 km shortly before Kamloops. We rode about 90km and arrived at the car rental place just after 2pm.
On checking in they told us that they didn't have a compact car but would we like a free upgrade to a Toyota 4Runner. After ensuring  that our bikes would fit in the back, I removed pedals and loaded our bikes. We were in Westbridge in about 4 hours.
