This morning started very cold, Ralf wore his long pants and I had my leggings on brr.  It was only about 7 degrees!

The route was a steady uphill climb with a slight head wind.   The road was good with wide enough shoulders and most of the cars gave us enough room.

We stopped in Burkes Pass Village which had a lovely little church which we were able to go inside.  It also had a little antique store, and fabulous wooden garden furniture for sale.  Would look great in cottage country.

Then we started the real climbing of the Burkes Pass 709 metres.

The climb up Burkes Pass was hard with the wind but we managed it.  From there it was primarily downhill, with a few undulations.  As we rounded Dog Kennel corner the vista opened up and it was an “Oh My God” this is incredible, then –

“oh My god this is more incredible”.

It was awesome.

Ralf’s comment: Another windy day in paradise with hills great! –

oh my god this is incredible.

We stayed overnight in a campsite on the Lake that we thought would cost $50.00, it only costs $30.00 for this view.

Lovely campsite.
