Motorcycle Adventures

We had a wonderful ride home… The weather has been warm and sunny the whole way through, and the roads are so great. I got up early at 6am to take advantage of the bathrooms and showers before anyone else was around, then started to pack up the tent from under Nicole Things were half packed by the time Nicole got up.

We enjoyed a nice breakfast, continued packing up, and left by 9:22am. The ride was uneventful, but beautiful. We stopped in Hope for lunch, and then continued home. We arrived here just before 4pm.

Our Trip:

We have had such a wonderful time traveling together and exploring a bit more of BC on our bikes…   We have learned a lot.  We have learned how to ride together.  We have learned to always be prepared for all sorts of weather – riding through the mountains the weather changes quickly, and often.  We have learned not to camp in the beginning of June – at least not in Nelson.

It was really one of the most enjoyable vacations I’ve been on – I can’t wait to do it again.  It’s such a different way to travel -with so little, and yet it is so rewarding.  Riding a motorcycle lets you experience the environment you pass through so much better than driving in a car.  You feel the air temperature, smell the scenery as you pass, and are so aware of everything around you.  I feel live I’ve not just ridden on the highways, I’ve experienced them.. felt them…

It’s nice to be home, yet I’m sad that we are not still out on our adventure… I’d rather be back in that tent… Sitting on the beach in Osoyoos. It was great to spend so much time with Nicole.

A huge thanks goes out to Michelle, Eryk, and Erin for taking care of our kids while we were away.  Clearly they were happy and well taken care of.  They’ve been keeping close to us all day while we’ve  been home.  It’s great to see them again – but it was great not to have to worry about them while we were away.  Thanks to our fantastic friends….
