We sat down in the restaurant and had some food while warming our toes up and drying our socks. Cory had been in touch with Ed via email, wondering how and where we were, and said that he’d be in Teslin for work tomorrow (his main job was at NWTel, a communications company). We both…

This episode is sponsored by the letter S: Whitehorse, CAN to Teslin, CAN
Squirrel, Smokies, Sleeping bag, Sprocket, Scary faces, Soup, Snow, Sidecar, Slippery. We made our way over to the Bed and Breakfast, where Eva had kindly offered us a free place to stay. It was in a beautiful setting, overlooking a forest with a big viewing deck to view the northern lights; when they decided to…
Welcome to Canada: Haines, AK to Whitehorse, CA
Despite setting my alarm to get up early, and knowing full well that we needed to get up to get everything done, I snoozed the alarm and we woke up just after 9.30am. Bugger. I had a quick tea and breakfast then set about cleaning the cabin, while Ed packed his stuff up before coming to…
The road to Haines: Beaver Creek, CA to Haines, AK
We woke to a mix of rain and sleet, but on the bright side I could feel my feet! This was quite a treat after the past few nights, where my feet resembled blocks of ice. I’d also been warm all night which was amazing, so nice not waking up in the middle of the…
The lights of the northern variety: Valdez, AK to Beaver Creek, CA
We woke up fairly early for us, knowing we had a lot of miles to do. I thought it was a cold, grey, and overcast day, but once outside the tent I discovered it was quite the opposite. Due to being in a bowl of mountains the sun hadn’t got to us yet! …
Ice, Ice, Baby: Moose Pass to Valdez
We got up pretty late as usual. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the yellow leaves on the trees were a striking contrast against the bright blue sky. It was most definitely autumn, and I loved it. Leaves covered the ground and continued to fall, flipping over in the breeze as they did. …
The Kenai Peninsula: Part 3 and a 1/3
It was so wet and grey that we couldn’t fully appreciate the scenery. It would have been a beautiful ride on a dry, sunny day, with mountains and hills on both sides. We rode past big lakes and through Chugach National Forest, and as we got nearer to Seward it cleared a little and I…
The Kenai Peninsula: Part 2
We stopped off for lunch at a place in Ninilchik, Ed hadn’t eaten all day and I was due for my next feed. We didn’t really have that far to go so we took our time, we weren’t in any rush, as usual. We finally finished up and went outside, where we got chatting to…
The Kenai Peninsula: Part 1
As soon as we got on to the coast road, the wind was ridiculous. We were getting blown all over the place. Couple that with not actually being able to see, and I started to think ‘Hmm, this is actually quite dangerous!’ And if it went seriously wrong, there were only two options; into…
Pizza, Pistons, Polar bears and Pissy lights
We rode back to Motoquest to say hello and pick up our post, when we spotted Mark again. Chrissy from Motoquest had kindly offered us a place to stay, so as Mark knew where she lived, he provided an escort. It was so nice to have a house to stay in, to recoup and relax…
