I&#8217;m taking some downtime while a bike shop looks into some issues with my bike (rear hub and bottom bracket). I&#8217;m staying with some great warmshowers hosts, Kyle and Avvai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll take a quick stab at summarizing the last week and a half of riding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We had really great weather, the only rainy day was when we took the ferry from Bamfield to Port Alberni. 60s and 70s pretty much the whole time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The scenery was amazing. Lots of crystal clear rivers and ponds, super lush forests, gorgeous ocean views. A lot of the time it felt like we were riding in some prehistoric jungle or Ferngully.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I had forgotten that Canadian road engineers don&#8217;t seem to care that much about maximum grades &#8211; in the US it&#8217;s rare to see anything beyond 8 or 9 percent, but here you see lots of 11, 12, 13 percent grades. A lot of this route was pretty challenging in that respect &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have too many major climbs, but there were a lot of very steep ups and downs. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ferry to Port Alberni had 8 other bike tourists on it &#8211; it was fun to go around and chat with them all about their various routes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We saw some good wildlife &#8211; lots of bald eagles, a seal patrolling the harbor, a pod of orcas&#8230;. We even scared a black bear up a tree!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall a challenging, but fun week and a half of bike touring. But no one wants to read this slop &#8211; here&#8217;s some photos! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
