Vernon to Armstrong Loop

Technically this ride cuts off just before reaching Armstrong from Vernon but obviously you could easily extend it a little. I enjoyed the early morning vibes along the Old Kamloops Road above Swan Lake. The good feelings subsided somewhat with the road's shoulders as I dropped down to Deep Creek near the O'Keefe Ranch near a golf course and turned up St. Annes Road. Maybe it's just me getting used to riding on roads but I dislike it when there's ZERO shoulder on a 70-80 kph highway. 😬

There were some lovely farm and field scenes as I looped past Otter Lake but these quickly faded into an industrial scene along Otter Lake Cross Road. By the time I was back along Swan Lake the highway was very busy and I kept my head on a swivel back to the Airbnb. A bike radar would be very handy for this entire ride.
