July 17, 2013 Today was an awesome riding day! Weather, you were so good to us today. Our local meteorologist, Dendog, nailed our get away perfectly. He obsessed over watched the radar for 2.5 hours until he figured we could leave between the current band of showers and the next band. He then forecast that…
July 16, 2013 Give me a place to stand, and place to grow, and call this land, Ontario… It was hot Hot HOT (cue Buster Poindexter). It was a great start to the day. The hotel had a nice breakfast and Dendog and I “rushed” out the door hoping to avoid the impending doom of…
July 15, 2013 We had really good intentions of starting the day with some video recording action, a stop at Walmart and a nice relaxed late start. The clouds started rolling in to Yorkton and the forecast was a bit scary. We decided to hit the road assuming we would find a Walmart later. We…
July 14, 2013 Today was a beautiful day. It was sunny, a nice temp @ 21 C and the roads were in great shape. We had throttle lock races. Dendog wins in the uphill sections. I assume this is because he is in his power-band and because his bike is 100 lbs lighter. It’s a…
July 13, 2013 It was a rainy morning when Dendog approached his bike. With it’s new tire and shiny rear wheel, it called to him: “Take me to Lloydminster”. So we did. The rain stopped about 150 km into the ride and the temperature rose nicely from 7 C to 20 C by the time…
July 12, 2013. We were on a 4 lane highway today! It felt so good! We were up pretty early (4:30) and had breakfast in the hotel (they open breakfast at 5:00). While there we met a nice guy from Ohio. He rides an FJR and was planning on doing the Klondike loop (Dawson City…
July 11, 2013 A short day! We love the short days. On a clear day, the ride through Muncho Lake to Fort Nelson is absolutely beautiful. On our way north, it was our first taste of twisty roads and elevation changes. On our way south, it was a bit of a cold, rainy, foggy soup….
July 10, 2013 I must admit to a little trepidation about today’s ride. On the way north, we had encountered a long patch of loose gravel on this stretch. We also encountered a REALLY long open grate bridge. Today was a breeze. A long breeze, but a breeze. The road was improved and it wasn’t…
July 09, 2013 Well, well, well. If yesterday was the most challenging day so far, today would be a close second. We stayed at a nice B&B in Tok, AK. We had a nice relaxing evening, filmed some video recollections of Mr. Dendog and fell asleep pretty early. It seemed today was not going to…
July 8, 2013 A video of part of the Top of the World Highway. Reading the title of this post you could assume it was a short, relaxed ride to achieve our goal: Alaska! If you check Spotwalla, you might see some really slow progress. Let’s sum up the ride in as few words as…
