Mostly uneventful riding day with some intermittent rain and construction.
Another soggy gas stop...
And more spectacular scenery...
Checking into the Dawson Creek Super 8 we noticed a guy rolling a really bent rear wheel rim through the lobby. Turns out he was on his BMW when the rim somehow gave out and the tire deflated. He said he didn't remember hitting any bumps but it sure looked like he ran over something big. He had located a replacement in Edmonton, BC, and had 4 days to spend in Dawson Creek before it'd arrive. He was on a ride up to Prudhoe Bay with his brother from New York. There's not a lot to do in Dawson Creek, we felt really bad for him. I thought to myself, "at least we haven't had any catastrophic failures that left us stranded. That'd be pretty awful."
