It was weird leaving Canada, after over 8 months in the country it felt strange going somewhere else. We were both looking forward to a change though as Canada had become so familiar to us, we were looking forward to a change of scenery and something new. The people had been absolutely wonderful though, and…

Dryden to Thunder Bay
Tuesday 24th February – Thursday 26th February I woke up early to finish putting my bike back together; I pushed the seal back in, put the cam chain and sprocket back on, then called Ed in to help me re-position the carb and air filter. This should have been a fairly easy task, however where…
Winnipeg to Dryden
Friday 20th February – Saturday 21st February We left Rob’s fairly early, headed for Kenora. We’d avoided the Trans-Canada all the way so far, but after looking at the alternative route, which would have been more scenic yet had more dangerous corners and considerably less traffic if we needed assistance, we decided to get on…
Windypeg: Hartney to Winnipeg
Sunday 15th February – Thursday 19th February Once we’d got ready and packed up, we went in to the restaurant and Elaine cooked us up a good breakfast. We’d just finished that up when Elaine’s husband Lorne came over. ‘I hear you’re on an adventure!’ he then proceeded to sit down, and wrote a list…
Stoughton to Hartney
Thursday 12th February – Saturday 14th February It was a mission getting out of the tent. It was so cold, and the wind so bitter, that just the thought of standing outside without my bike gear and fat suit on made me shiver. I could either jump out of the tent and get dressed extremely…
Ice, Camera, Action! Outlook to Stoughton
Monday 9th February – Wednesday 11th February We woke up fairly late, had some food in the restaurant below the motel we’d found, and left town around midday. It was overcast and snowing, the temperature was around -12C, and of course there was a headwind. Why is it never a tail…
Random Acts of Kindness: Drumheller to Outlook
Friday 6th February – Sunday 8th February After accepting that our original plan of riding on gravel roads would be too slow, and that there would be less services and towns, we decided to pick up highway 9. We were pretty chilly by the time we got to the town of Hanna, and…
Dinosaurs and Dark Nights: Canmore to Drumheller
Tues 3rd February – Thursday 5th February We finally left Michelle and Nevil’s house after about five failed attempts (Please note: if you invite us to stay, you might not be able to get rid of us) It really felt like we were starting a new chapter of our trip, as we finally headed east…
Ice Magic: Lake Louise to Canmore
Saturday 24th January – Monday 2nd February I was extremely happy that our passing through Lake Louise coincided with the Banff and Lake Louise Ice Magic Festival, which is part of Snow Days, a celebration of all things Winter. Artists from around the world have 34 hours of carving time, to transform fifteen blocks…
The Icefields Parkway: Jasper to Lake Louise
22nd – 23rd January 2015 I woke around 10am but didn’t want to get up, so fell back to sleep only to be woken again by the sound of a truck pulling up and footsteps in the snow. ‘Is anyone in there?’ a male voice asked. ‘Yes’, I replied, half asleep. I poked my head…
