Short video showing what I got ride and see this past weekend. I counted for women riding the trails I was and that is better than none right?;-) More info about this group go here BC Dual Sport
2014 Annual Fall Dual Sport BC ride is a group ride for all size bikes and skill. There are three routes, A, B and C. C is the big bike adventure route. Great organization, great people and always a great ride.
A few weekends ago I went on a two night trip to Tofino. It’s a great little ocean town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. My goal in the future when off call from work and off work in general is to try to take as many “little” trips as I can to get…
If anyone has been following my “story” you will know I have recently separated from Cheryl. Just this past week I became the sole owner of my house and needless to say I am overwhelmed with mixed emotions. So, what I do best is get out of town on my F800 to clear my head. …
Heading out to Vancouver Island in a few hours thanks to having great dog sitters. Lately I have been trying to get away for short trips on my bike. I ride all year but this time of year I particularly love because of the cool crisp mornings and if lucky warm afternoons.
September 28th 2014 (all pics click-able for Hi-Rez) I woke up to a very FOGGY and misty morning. My usual early rising…I manage if lucky to get about 4-5 hours a sleep a night. Long story but anyway….I checked the weather out and the weather people did predict the sun would shine eventually. So, what…
Sept 21 2014 It was a beautiful morning and I decided to take my friend/colleague Sandi up to the new Sea to Sky Gondola near Squamish, BC and play local tourists for the day. Hot September Day we drove not far from Vancouver to get to see this. We are fortunate and I have said…
Rode up to Chehalis Lake British Columbia today. A decent logging road that takes you through shady forest areas to vistas with views to die for….temperature changes throughout the ride. No cell coverage so I brought my SPOT just in case. Here is the link to my track… DAY Trippin From my SPOT page
May 17 2014 – June 15th 2014 (2014 X Country Solo Trip) if you make to the bottom you will see some stats or you can scroll down not read this wordy post and cut to the chase. 😉 I got a big smooch from Sierra when I arrived home… My good luck charm came…
I have been back now almost 2 weeks and have had time to reflect on this trip. I think I feel like most when we return home whether it’s from a weekend trip, month or longer. I have the longing feeling to be back on the road. Don’t get me wrong, life on the road…
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…
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…
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…
Let’s talk about my pet peeve from day one real quickly. My SPOT Connect is sucking up batteries like there is no tomorrow. I have emailed them about this because it’s not acceptable when you use lithium batteries to power a device that they last only a few hours. Went through 6 yesterday and had…
