Meanwhile, Ante was peddling his way along the same highway. He too had been told not to cycle the Stewart-Cassiar Highway in the fall. He politely took the advice and proceeded down the highway anyway. Then, he was stopped by a car. "Hey, young fella, you better slow down, your girlfriend is falling way behind ya" the American tourist told him. "Humm", he thought to himself, "this sounds interesting". And so, he stopped and waited along the highway to meet this gal. After standing in the rain for three-and-half hours, he stopped the first car he saw. The driver told him, the cyclist was at least an hour away. So Ante ran back to the cabin he was staying at, warmed up on some moose stew, changed his clothes and went back out. He later realized that she'd cycled passed him.
