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…

TAT Day 94 (Utah/Nevada Border to Random Camping Spot)
Saturday 7th November UT/NV border to Random Camping Spot The first job of the day was to change the oil in my bike. Having clutch slip is soul destroying at the best of times, but when you’ve got limited time and long distances to do, in the freezing cold, it’s really something you…
TAT Day 92-93 (Delta, Utah to Utah/Nevada Border)
Thursday 5th November – Friday 6th November Delta, UT to UT/NV Border Unable to face another freezing cold day on the trail, we decided to stay another night in Delta and kit ourselves out with some warm gear. We found some good winter gloves in Ace hardware, picked up a puncture repair kit so Ed could…
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…
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…
