BC Riders Group(less) ride, Merritt.
After fueling up in warm and sunny Kamloops I hit the Coquihalla for my next stop, Merritt. Unfortunately, the weather changed fast, it got colder and within 15 minutes it started to sprinkle, rain, down pore and to top it off, hail. Hail hurts on a bike. I decided to not stop and put my rain gear on but just keep riding without. Bad choice. After a couple minutes I could feel that the rain had reached my t-shirt and water was running down my leather pants in to my waterproof boots. So much for having waterproof boots if your pants are tucked in to it. I was giving the vehicles in front of me shit for slowing down to under 80 km/h, but then I noticed that we were the brave ones because others had pulled their cars and trucks over, waiting for the hail to stop. Luckily the last 10 to 15 minutes everything cleared up again and by the time I rode down from the high elevation I could feel the heat of the sun coming back again. Did a little sight-seeing and drying and warming up in Merritt, the country capital of BC, and continued to Logan Lake. But before I got there I got hit by a rain and hail storm for the second time. Brrrrrr wet! After this time I could ride down the mountain in to the semi-desert climate of Ashcroft. Mmmmm, nice and warm again. Fuel up in Cache Creek. It didn't last long though, before my, late lunch, stop in Clinton I got my third rain shower. Left Clinton between three and three-thirty direction 100Mile. Turned off on to the 24 to Little Fort and of course on the higher elevation I got rained out for the fourth time today. In Little Fort turned left on to the Yellow Head and 15 minutes later I was home where it hadn't rained the whole day.
All in all still a nice 654 km ride.
At least my rain gear stayed dry today and there was hardly any bug-kill on my visor.

Well Sounds like you had a good day besides the rain. Wish I could have made it.
I will have to ask the GF if I have anything planned for this weekend.
