It felt so awesome to wake up in Radium. There’s a real cool energy to the place, and I became very excited when I stepped outside to breathe in the mountain air and looked out to the Selkirk Mountains across … Continue reading Day 2- Valhalla
It’s not the age- it’s the mileage. I took a year off of BC Bike Touring last year because my son was born at the end of June and I had no interest in being anywhere other than right at … Continue reading Day 1- Back in the Saddle Again
It was a slow and dreary day. Rain had settled in over the Rocky Mountain Trench since last night and there was just no avoiding it. I even delayed my departure by an hour in the morning in an attempt to … Continue reading Day 2- Connection
