Friday 8th July Having had our fix of luxury for the time being, it was time to leave San Ignacio and continue our journey to the east coast. Despite enjoying the last few days together we still wanted to ride separately, something that was confirmed to me the day before when we were riding round…

TAT Day 95 (Random Camping Spot, NV to Geyser Ranch, NV)
Sunday 8th November Random Camping Spot, NV to Geyser Ranch, NV As expected, we didn’t get a very good night’s sleep at all. It was really cold, and my feet were freezing as I’d failed to notice that my socks were damp. My back wasn’t too happy about being in a tent either, but I…
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…
All things winter: Days in Dryden
Sun 22nd February – Monday 23rd February When I woke up on Sunday morning, I didn’t expect to be ticking two things off my ‘Things to do in Canada in Winter list’. After having quite the feast for breakfast with their friends and family, and casually mentioning in conversation that we’d missed our chance to…
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…
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…
