  • From the Start

Glory ride.

The end of our journey… keep checking the blog for photo updates and how we’re coping with reality (and by that I mean couches). I’ll also be making a book from all my photos if anyone wants to see it!

A Visit from the Family

Currently, Erika and I are punting around creston and contemplating our route: do we take the hardest pass in BC or do we head up Kootney Lake and see Nelson, the hippiest of all the towns. Apparently at the highway junction there’s a Tim Hortons, so we’ll probably flip a coin in the morning. Or … Continue reading

Farewell Aaron; Hello Mountains

Leaving Aaron, finding the mountains, more wind complaints… great way to stay in shape.

Day in the Life of our Cycling Family

When it’s cold enough to sleep with the sleeping bag completely zipped up, … Continue reading

Things We Like

Now that we’re halfway done the trip (3250km) and we’ve pretty much exhausted pavement and Ontario related rants, we thought it was time to talk about some of the things we like 1. When the faucet in the sink is tall enough to let us fill our hydra-packs properly. 2. People in grocery stores who … Continue reading
