WaCanId 2016 and Real Estate - Day 3
Rotary sponsored International Selkirk Loop WaCanId Bicycle Ride begins 
early morning, September 14 2016, from Rossland BC and finishes the day in Nelson BC. Today will show itself to be the most varied day in riding. 68 miles with over 4,800 feet in elevation climb. (See Day 2 Post for elevation footnote). That is tempered with 6,700 downhill.
Virtually out the Hotel Lobby door begins an 1,800 foot climb with 13 mile
grade to Nancy Greene Summit.
From there we enjoy a long downhill to Castlegar
BC. As we ride into town art work is along
the walkways to add to the towns curb appeal.
Taking a small detour, from the route, we enjoy our lunch stop at the
newly finished Castlegar Millenium Park that sits on the Columbia River.
Moving away from the Columbia River and Castlegar we enjoy pastures
in the hillsides, rustic buildings, streams, creeks, a reservoir, and our final
descent into Nelson BC with our first glimses of Kootenai Lake. Enjoyed from
Castlegar to Nelson is new paving. Looking almost like glass in the afternoon
sun and shadows, this new paving makes riding seem virtually surreal.
As we finish today's ride and enter Nelson BC it means a few things.
Tomorrow we have a layover day to explore
Nelson BC, Sister City toSandpoint Idaho. We
have traveled 224 miles of our 371 miles and
climbed atotal of over 14,000 feet.
How do I compare WaCanId Day 3 to Real Estate? There are times when
many different issues are being delt with at the same time and yet they seem
to be getting done easily. Our work still needs be done, and yet it is almost as
if we are in cruise control. These are times to be savored and enjoyed. While
our work takes planning and focus there are many things outside our control
that will fall into place along with our hard work. Everything seems to fit
and move perfectly. Appreciate the part you have played in the smooth ride,
as well as all the work around you that has fallen into place perfectly. While I
had nothing to do with the work and planning of miles of new paving I
certainly would not have been able to enjoy it had I not been in shape to
make it to this portion of the ride.

I did take a laptop with me but was unsure of how I wanted to organize the posts. So after a couple of weeks I have pics somewhat organized and definitely know what I want to say. Thank you for stopping by. Always enjoy you. Mark
