Day 12: (May 16) West Kelowna to Vernon 76.9km

Our day began with a fairwell to Lisa. We made a breakfast stop at McDonald's before truly starting our big day! A young man named Brad working at the McDonald's kindly offered us a collection of free coffee cards, after finding out about our adventure. We then headed towards Kelowna and passed the waterfront and took a picture with Ogopogo, the lake monster of the Okanagan!

Following Glenmount Road North and the 97A we made our way to our lunch stop at Subway in Winfield. It was a hot and sunny day we made good use of our sunscreen. Unfortunately, the weather took a turn and it started to rain, we pedalled fast and made it out of the storm. We were rewarded with a beautiful  view of Vernon.

 We had our first ever Warm Showers experience staying with Paul and Susan, who welcomed us into their home for the night and cooked us dinner. Warm Showers is a website in the cycling community that connects hosts with traveling guests that are looking for a place to stay.
