A couples journey on 2 wheels

Monthly Archives: August 2017

We got up at a reasonable hour to enjoy a last shower, pack up and visit our new rider friends. After saying our good byes to David (we met him in Coldfoot on the way to Prudhoe Bay) and the S+M Boilerworks couple (they did a 3 year round the […]

Today we head to our first motorcycle meeting. Not something I would have normally considered going to but a relative of Zoe’s speaks highly of this of this one so we figured we’d check it out. First order of the day was to head down the hill to the car […]

As things sometimes have a way of working out, we found out a few days ago that our friend Nick was in the area. He was in Vancouver at the time, but planning on riding his mountain bike in Kamloops, Kewlona and then Silver Star. After a brief look on […]

Day 142, Silver Star Ski Resort, BC

August 25, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Aug 19th It was a chilly morning at Ferry Island campground in Terrace but fortunately we had some leftover wood to burn. Made breakfast then packed up and got going, plenty of ground to cover. The road was fairly quiet, low clouds hung down and occasional patches of drizzle. We […]

There is only one thing I want to be doing at 04:30, and that’s sleeping! Not so today. The ferry leaves at 07:00 and we have to be there at 05:00 to check in. Most of our gear was already packed the night before and the remainder didn’t take all […]

Day 137, Ketchikan AK – Terrace BC, Aug 18th

Well there isn’t a whole lot to say here, except Ketchikan is known for its rainforest and large amounts of rain, and boy, did it rain… A LOT! It is also the southern most town in Alaska and in our case our last stop before leaving the 49th state. The […]

It had drizzled all night but slowed down by the morning. Under the trees we were reasonably sheltered but it was very damp. We reluctantly got out of bed and packed up, trying to keep the dry stuff dry and the wet stuff away from the dry stuff… A bit […]

Day 132-133, Sitka to Ketchikan ferry journey.

August 14, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

An uncomfortably early start in Juneau, up by 5 and packed and on the road by 6am. We waited parked at the ferry dock in our staging line for an hour and a half, think they woke us up too early!! Took that time to eat the to-go breakfast Tanguy […]

Day 130-131, Sitka, Aug 11-12th

August 13, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

The weather was nice and clear for the ferry crossing, and during the narrow beginning portion of the 4 1/2hour We had amazing steep fjord vistas with the odd glacier along the way. Food options looked minimal (read fast food style) so we ate our boat snacks, and layered up […]

August 12, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Our plan is to catch the ferry in Haines and head south through what’s known as the Inside Passage. The ferry is booked for the 8th and we are now pretty beelining for Haines. We left Tok a little later than we would have liked to ( I have never […]
