Im back...

...the last two days have been hard core weather days.. Tornado dodging, ice fog, canyon winds and rain... Lots and lots of rain....
Brooks to Sicamous via 22x and the 1a.. Nasty day with tornado warnings (rode right under one trying to form... Scary.  Then just rain..lots of rain. Got nice for a while on the bow river valley but from banff on got nasty again. Rogers pass was particularly brutal... Toughest ride yet.
Sicamous to cache creek was ok-ish, still raining but calm till i got into the fraser canyon where the winds were howling... Hunkered down behind a heavy semi and crawled through...
Clear skys and roads to the ferry from hope to tsawassen and im on the 5ferry home
13,000 Km there and back....
Oh yea!!

In Bamfffff

Somewhere above the clouds are mountainz... And in the clouds is rain...

Storm-dodger

Huge storm headed for calgary.. I left Brooks with a steady tailwind on secondary hwys to try and avoid the city... Time for my rain gear again!

Corn-er Gas?

So i.m 3hours into the day,starved for breakfast and could use some fuel too... Not a gas station or restaurant in site until....
Yep indeed-just like on tv except...no gas, or breakfast. Just popcorn, ice cream and souvenir t,s.

Manitoba...

A beast of a day, the weather being the wild creature... From warm mild start in Kenora to thunderstorm evasion via my sisters place south of winnipeg to rain under sci-fi clouds and ending in the bright sun and hi winds.
A 12hour riding day gets me to this swanky motel...just a few miles from saskatchewan

Kenora ON and a short ride

If 7 hours is short eh!
made great time and gained an hour sp.. after 5 days straight riding a early break, walk around the bay to stretch out, have a nice dinner and enjoy the music on the dock later.
Hey John... Fish shure are big out here eh! You shoulda seen the one that got away!
