Month: July 2009

we tried to bike over the pass, but were thrwarted for various reasons. Now on train to seattle. The conductors are mean. More details to come.

i like trains but amtrak…

had a lovely time in seattle on our day off. we ate ice cream one with honey lavendar the other with ground up coffee. Andrea kindly let us turn her place into a bike hostel for a couple days. She’s joining us for the next little bit. Riding on bike paths all day is much better than gravel roads.

lunch by the river

we should be in canada tomorrow.

complete with a bike race and hover craft

decided to go up the coast thru bellingham. May take ferry to canada. One site left at camp site. Ranger told us to go look at it before we said yes and that the last person gave up this site. Said we could go to canada if we didn’t like it. We’ll show her.

don,t say yes until you see it

rode thru the burbs to the subway to vancouver. Rode all around the park north of downtown. I highly recommend it if any of you readers ever visit. Biker’s dream come true. Taking the day off in the rain. Andrea going back tonight but we’re picking up more bikers here. Onward

all gone

making a slow jaunt out of vancouver. Got a ride up a giant hill to the camp site with sherry who later came back with her husband to bring us a kettle of tea fresh off the stove. We’re in a wet wet rainforest. My socks have a gallon of water in them.

canada’s finest!

making our way along, only slightly behind schedule. Just climbed our first canadian pass. Ate a ridiculous amount of pie last night. Going towards cache creek, the arizona of canada.

adjustments

got up really early to climb some hills before it got stupid hot. We climbed the hills and now it’s stupid hot. Maya’s having some bike problems so we’re at a rad shop in cache creek getting a repair. Looking forward to getting back into the alpine. Don’t forget

gettin the bikes fixed
