4.30pm. I had hoped that this was the summit of Highway 533 between Nanton & our Chain Lake camp destination, sadly I was very wrong. This was about 7 hours into Day One's ride (The Ride to Conquer Cancer event), I am estimating about 95km into the 115km stage. Very hot, thirsty & tired at this stage - my bike was playing up, the front brake rubbing against the wheel making it an even more arduous ride. However I made it in the end!! The early part of the dat between Spruce Meadows & Nanton was easy enough, predominantly flat & I made good time up the Nanton break, but then this hill of doom kicked in. I dismounted a couple of times, but otherwise completed the whole 220km over two days without stopping, other than the scheduled breaks.
