Motorcycle Adventures

I’m so very pleased that Eryk and I have gone on this adventure together. Its been a great day.

We left New West around 7am. It was already almost 20 degrees by 9am on our way to Hope. Not a cloud in the sky.

The traffic was quite a bit heavier than when Nicole and I took the route a couple weeks earlier. We came across a massive traffic lineup on the highway, and as Eryk’s bike was starting to over heat, we decided to take the shoulder for a while. We must have saved ourselves almost an hour of waiting in line! It was great. We were not the only motorcycles taking advantage of our small size – there must have been 25 of us taking the shoulder.

We filled up with gas in Agassiz, and passed hope all together. Our first real stop was Princeton, where we stopped for a subway. It was getting quite a bit warmer and we were really started to feel the heat.

The day turned out to be very hot. On our last trip we were cold riding through Manning Park, with temps as low as 5 degrees. Today we were sweating though 25 degrees. As we neared Osoyoos, the temp climbed to 37 and has stayed there for the rest of the day.

We set up camp, had dinner, and had some great conversation while sitting around the picnic table. Later, we drove into town to pick up a few bytes to eat, and then had a swim in the lake.

A great day. So nice to connect with Eryk, to ride this route again, and to have such wonderful weather.

Before bed I’m enjoying a wonderful barefoot walk along the sea wall on wonderful warm pavement. Its still probably 25 degrees, and its 10pm!!! I’ve been walking for just under and hour.

Tomorrow on to Nelson!
