Saturday, July 12, 2014 Today was a riding day with a single purpose: cross the Rockies and head south into the Okanagan…taking the exact same route I took on my first tour back in 2006. I bade a quick goodbye … Continue reading Day 3: Highway Chile
Friday, July 12, 2014 Today we were straight-up tourists in a National Park. For real. There were the busloads of international visitors with funny hats, the rude old ladies who jibber-jabber loudly and cut in line while waiting to see sights, the … Continue reading Day 2: On Top of the World
Thurs, July 11, 2014 The idea for the first few days of the Sideways Tour was to hang out with my sister and one of my brothers before my sister and I both get married this Fall. Jasper was the … Continue reading Day 1: Run Right Back
Monday, Aug 5, 2013 The last day of each motorcycle tour is painful. I’m not sure if it’s the length…or the lack of scenery…or the massive desire to get home to see my loved ones and sleep in my own … Continue reading The Tall Towers Day 11: Hurry Home

The realtime journals ended after Day 5, which is pretty much the same thing I did on the Magical Mystery Tour. So here’s a synopsis of what went on for the rest of the trip: Days 6&7 were spent hanging … Continue reading Saving Private Ryan Tour: Epilogue
Thursday, July 22, 2010 Today presented the worst riding conditions of the tour so far. Even cold and the rain through the Kootenays did not compare to this…it was colder, the rain was heavier, and it was constant. It was … Continue reading Day 12: Thunderstruck
Friday, August 21st, 2009 It sure feels good to be back in the saddle. I anticipated a long day so I got up early and was on the road at 9:00 local time, knowing that I would gain an hour … Continue reading Day 3: Back in Black
