Sunday 240 km……Up early this morning to work on the blog….Kelly sleeping in the big double bed beside me. Mike showed up around 7:30 to clean up and pack up the bikes. Breakfast in the linked trailers…….fruit, cereal and toast.
Out onto the Forest Trunk Road for a day of dust and spectacular views….including a deer taking a drink at a bend in the river…there are cliffs behind her and she’s in a kind of a canyon….postcard perfect!
The dust was scary in places when a car would pass us going the other way…and the dust would hang in the air for minutes…just long enough to start wondering if you were either going to be rear ended or driven into head on…it turned out there was nothing but dust to worry about…and I got everywhere! I had to start wiping my visor with my glove every 20 minutes…so much for my shiny new helmet!
We had a late lunch in Cochrane and just happened to stumble into a vintage motorcycle ‘show and shine’ in the A&W parking lot. A lot of really great looking vintage bikes…hot sunny day, cool bikes and rootbeeer…does it get any better….oh yeah…upgrade the rootbeer to a float….mmmmmm
This is the point where we said goodbye to Aaron…he went back home to Edmonton and we headed on to Calgary, to see Bill and Sharon, Leslie and Chris. What fun, what a welcome home, what a great time and what food! Now you’re in trouble…we’ll be back.
Got sleepy with a big mug of tea, and a fire on the back porch fireplace. Goodnight.
How are the bugs/mosquitoes?
