Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
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…
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…
Friday 20th February – Saturday 21st February We left Rob’s fairly early, headed for Kenora.

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…
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…
