KLIM Altitude Pants Review
I initially reviewed this new KLIM suit when I first got it back in April. Now that I have well over 8000 KM’s in it or 5000 miles I have some more impressions. I will try to stick with the facts of my experience with this suit and cut to the chase. These impressions I […]
KLIM Altitude Suit 2nd Impressions/Review

West to East Complete, well almost
First half of my trip mileage = Maple Ridge, BC to Long Island, New York is 7145 KM’s or 4,439 Miles. Gas mileage due to the x and head winds heading east was not that great. 5.1 L/100 Km’s. A little over 300 Km’s per tank. Heading west I should get much better mileage. What […]
Day 12 con’t and Day 13 – Revzilla & Coming Home
After I left a really sunny, HOT Washington DC, I went north to Philly. Still warm all the way up until about 120 KM’s outside Philadelphia. I noticed the temperature dropping from 35, 30, 20, 15, 12 C. I saw the skies darken which can only mean one thing…another Spring Storm. I sort of knew […]
Day 12 – Hot and COLD (Part I – DC)
After spending 2 nights and day at my brother’s families house in NC and a night at my old friend’s house in Williamsburg, VA, I left the south to head north to Philadelphia, PA to visit the REVZILLA relatively new store in Philly by the old Navy yard. I went to Colonial Williamsburg on my […]
Greasy Spoon and Revzilla
Stopped off for breakfast at T&N in Philly before heading over to Revzilla for a visit.
Day 11 – “I’m sorry I did not mean to hit your bike”
Day 11 = 571 Km’s – Matthews, NC – Wiliamsburg, VA Got your attention didn’t I? I stop at McD’s for wifi, bathroom breaks etc. Yesterday I actually got a quarter pounder, some calories, fat and food. Still feel as though I am not eating enough but seems like I am always snacking. I leave […]
Day 10 – Quick update
I was able to take two nights off and use a day to replenish some items I needed for the trip back , like get a new camping stove. I broke my other one days ago. Now I can get back to at least boiling water when I want and need to.
Independence & Clean
Gear cleaned and new stove to replace the one I broke. Back to being able to cook on my own!
It’s Harder Than You Think Yet Easier
Day 8-635.4 KM’s Day 9-739.6 Km’s I have arrived on the east coast of the USA in North Carolina yesterday, May 25th. Took me 9 days to get here with a lot of boring pavement riding yet I was not really bored.
Day 6 & 7 – Gratitude and A bit of a Set Back
Day 6 – 742.2 KM’s. Day 7 – 560 KM’s. Yesterday seems to be a blur to be honest. Even today because I am thinking too much. I supposed every ride report has a theme and this one seems to be amnesia.
Day 5 – I don’t like being a Carnivore
761.2 KM’s I have to say this…after riding today and seeing so MANY cattle pens where I know they are being raised just for their meat, I hate the fact I like meat. I am not a left-wing nut about being vegetarian or anything but when I see hundreds if not thousands of cows living […]
Day 4 – My Humbling Lesson (785.6 KM’s)
I woke up early this morning thinking I won’t wait for Cabelas to open and buy a new SPOT device, I will head southeast and get some mileage under my belt. Sun was shining, packed up quickly and headed towards what I thought was Casper, Wyoming. THOUGHT! Now, I could just not admit this stupid […]
Day 3 – X Winds, Hail & GHOST Rider (711.4 KM’s)
I need to start off by saying thank you to all the PM’s, emails and messages in general to the many out there that think I am “brave” for telling my story and going out on my own. It is what it is….I speak my mind and always have, perhaps too much. But in the […]
