		JUNKET 2002
DAY 1 Nelson A relaxing morning starting with breakfast in town, a brief musical interlude, and a ride to the top of Dun Mountain.
Secret Talents, or has this man biked up stairway to heaven?		Dun Mountain From the outskirts of town we started our climb up a dirt road. Once we hit the single track all was well until the first switchback. We missed our turn and ended up riding, or shall we say pushing, up the cross country down-hill track. Wickedly steep. We eventually made the top of the mtn where we took in the excellent views before our rapid descent.		View of Nelson Top of Dun Mountain
A rest in the shade	High Flyer		The big push. Ug.		Concensus was unanimous. We ain't going down there!
The final push to the top of Dun Mountain.



Oops	Pelorus Bridge After a great pre-trip warm-up ride on Dun Mountain, we hopped aboard the bus and make our way to Canvastown.	View from the bridge. "Jump!"	A stop at Pelorus Bridge for a quick dip was certainly in order.
Trout Hotel, Canvastown You have to see it to beleive it. Truly a step back in time.

		We were "fortunate" to be at the Trout for their 60's night with the Blenheim Country (Non-Talent) Show Band. Yes, even Elvis was there.

After massaging about 8 people Jane's still into it. Just who's leg is that anyway?	Jane gets some payback from the group. Carol takes the back....	....while Skoda and Darryl took turns doing a leg each.	"Yes we love doing dishes! We're good kids. Remember that"

The band finally quit playing about 1:00 AM and we managed to catch some snooze time for the big ride the next day. END OF DAY 1
