Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Friday 27th November Port Orford, OR to Klamath Falls, OR We couldn’t have asked for better weather when we finally woke in the morning. High in the bright blue sky sat a deliciously warm sun, and we got a real surprise when we stepped out of the motel and realised just how toasty it was…
Sunday 15th November McDermitt, NV to Fields, OR After breakfast in the casino, we finally crossed the border in to Oregon. This was a particular milestone for us, as apart from a little dip back in to Nevada and California, it was the last state that the TAT finished in. Finally the end…
The following day was spent roasting in the sun, chatting to lots of random people who were intrigued by the bikes, and fixing Ed’s piston. He soon discovered that his piston really wasn’t in good shape, and that where the rings had been slapping around they’d scored a groove in the side. …
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
