Vancouver Island Quest Cambell River to Bamfield

Jen pushed hard into the morning over 100km of biking until she was swerving all over the dirt road and had to go down for an hour sleep at 4am Wednesday morning, today. After an hour she is up and hard charging to the West Coast trail in Bamfield. She is looking good, but underneath you can sense urgency, extreme fatigue and some frustration. She has to hit the West Coast trail head at 1pm today or she will be thrown off by the short ferry crossing on the West Coast trail. She is trying to sustain 20+km/hr right now, over some pretty rough road. She has 93km to go and should make it. Finally stopped raining and some sun coming out. Update as soon as we get service again.

We're dying for updates! Thanks for keeping everyone in the loop. I am set for the Juan De Fuca trail - can you ask Peterson to call with an ETA!
