Loving the great weather

Ok so we haven't been out on the bikes this past week but it has still been exceptional.  doing nothing once in a while is great too.

Well it's not been nothing...I took a 12+ hour  on line course over this weekend and last weekend..health and safety stuff..boring for the most part but necessary.

A bit of house, property and shop clean-up ....and a bit of reading and relaxing on the back deck.

Mike took the KLR over to A friend's to get some work done on it..and my bike goes to the dealer this week to get some work done on it before the big trip north to south....Out 'Half Way Down' tour.  We are getting our maps, GPS and SPOT tracker all ready.  The spot tracker is a beacon that we can use for 911 emergency calls or it can have 3 other notices added so everyone known were safe.  It also has a GPS tracking feature that we will link this site to that will track our every move in real time....that way people will be able to see our progress on an hourly basis...

Our biggest issue right now is that we have more days off then we know what to do with...we figure it will take 11 days to ride from Calgary to New Mexico so that gives us about 4 days to spend some extra time in a few places....we were thinking of Colorado for a few days.  More web research is required.

The trip is the last two weeks of August so stay tuned form more posts....!
