Back on the road, with a few glitches

Just as we pulled out of the RV Park, Randy noticed the tow vehicle didn’t feel right. We spent the next hour in the Lowe’s parking lot fixing a latch spring in the tow bar arm. Then, at the lunch stop he checked the bike rack and saw a potential crack in the piece that […]

Got Bike!

Big shout out and THANK YOU to Pedego Electric Bikes Calgary. They fixed the bike back to running condition in just over 2 days to get us back on our trip. It’s a bit of a Frankenstein bike now, but it all works. We’ve seen more of Calgary than we ever expected. While we waited […]

Well, dog gone!

Bike isn’t ready today. The pedego dealer located an hydraulic brake cable to replace the damaged one but he still has to install it and run diagnostics. When the break is engaged the motor on the pedego bike disengages. He needs to make sure that there isn’t any additional damage to the brake. So it’s […]

Making Lemonade

Left Calgary today (well, almost). Notice in the photo there is only 1 bike on the bike rack? There was a lot of road repairs being done, with uneven payment and no signage. We had a hard drop of about 6 inches from new pavement to old road service and the arm on the bike […]

Around Calgary

Visited the Erratic (large granite rocks brought from the Rocky Mountains by the glacier) in Okotoks. Then on to Calgary to see the downtown and the Calgary Tower. Had dinner at the Sky 360 Restaurant while it slowly rotated around so we got a 360 view of the city.

Calgary Stampede

Having a beer with friends Ed and Barbara in Calgary. The city is celebrating a festival today!

Oh Canada!

Eh! Crossed the boarder at Eastport without a problem. Drove through the mountains and out to the grasslands in Alberta. Passed by fields of canola and stopped at Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump Heritage Site. It was well worth the stop.

Bonners Ferry, Idaho

Enjoying a beer at the Kootenai River Brewing Company with our friends Ed and Barbara. Tomorrow we will cross the boarder into Canada. Will let you know how that goes! Not sure of the cell phone or internet there so I might not be able to post every day. We’re going to stop at Head […]

Mead, Washington

Made it to Mead to meet up with friends, Ed and Barbara. Staying at a Harvest Host camping spot, Walter’s Fruit Ranch. Another long day and we needed a beer. Fortunately there is a brewery just down the road – The Barn Brewery. They grow their own hops! Will decide tonight if we cross the […]

Made it to Oregon

Eating up the miles, we drove 440 miles today, stopping in Madras, Oregon at the RV park at Jefferson County Fairgrounds. We’ll head into Washington tomorrow and on into Idaho. We’re actually ahead of where we thought we’d be at this point, so we may slow down a bit and see if there are any […]
