Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Day 11 Sun 16th Aug After a breakfast of homemade rolls and jam, we said goodbye to Dale, Liz and Owen and got off on our way. We rode back to Marvell and got back on to the trail, and as promised the dust began. It wasn’t anywhere near as deep as Dale had warned…
Day 10 Sat 15th Aug It was when I was having my cold shower in the morning after being cooked out of the tent that I was thankful for the relocation, although I wasn’t too thankful of being woken up at the time. Despite being tired we soon felt better as we…
Day 9 Friday 14th Aug Well we didn’t get very far today, in fact we only did about 45 miles in the wrong direction so Ed could go ‘walking in Memphis’! We had a late start due to a late night, as we couldn’t find anywhere to camp. Everywhere had posted and private property signs,…
Day 1 – Thursday 6th August Well it was a fun and relatively easy start to the T.A.T., despite my bike spewing out all of it’s oil as we stopped in Tellico Plains for fuel. Ed had just pulled up to chat to some other TAT riders, and as I leant my…
We had a big day ahead of us to get to our friend Mike’s house in Connecticut in a day, 200 miles to be precise. And although we had the best intentions to leave early, I got distracted with making my bike lighter by throwing out some stuff. I’d been carrying around quite a substantial…
Being Independence day, or Treason Day as Ed likes to call it, we thought that it would be fun to spend the night at a proper campsite with entertainment and fireworks. We stopped at a couple of campgrounds but no-one was willing to do us a deal, and after being spoken to quite rudely by…
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…
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…
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…
