Thanks for the pictures and I'd like to ask a favor if you could do one of your pictures for Chelsey she was a very nice young lady wife and mother in her early 30's who lost her fight with cancer last January. She wasn't a biker but she had a bikers soul. Thanks.

Default A nice Rounder......

..... I am heading to the Coast in a couple of weeks to visit my daughter. I will be there about 10 days and then will have some free time. So I am thinking about this rounder. Day 1 gets me to Vernon, then the next day to Vancouver.... 10 days there, then I would head north via Whistler, Lillooet and onto Williams lake.... then North again to Prince George up to Chetwynd, through Tumbler Ridge and onto Alberta.... I have never been in this part of BC so that would be all new road..... I would continue south down to Hinton on Hwy 40, over to Jasper, down to Banff, then head towards Waterton via Peter Lougheed park..... the last day would be from Waterton down to St Marys in Montana and up and over Road to the Sun, and then home. I will take my camping gear and do the best I can with campsites.... but Motels will also be on the menu.

Have a look......



A nice rounder, old roads, and new roads in a part of BC I have never seen.

It's always nice to ride a new road. Hope you find the time to get the ride in.

Always enjoy your trips, pics and commentary Rocky! Keep em' coming! It is a great thing you are doing with the cancer/remembrance ride!

It is interesting how the world starts to look on the other side of 60. There where 6 stress points in my life. I got rid of 3 of three of them by “just” saying bye bye. One of them just dropped off on its own (it was a big one). So I ended up with 2. I added 1/2 of one back in, but if it becomes problematic, it gets flushed. I added 2 positive things, one the remembrance ride, and the other my “Baby” (Panhead). Also, I just had a head to toe Medical, even an echocardiogram on my heart (I had a valve replaced about 8 years ago) and all is normal. I guess the Remembrance Ride is all about my ability to enjoy my Journey and to give something back. I originally thought I would get it “completed” this season, but now I know it will carry on.

Lots of stress points in life, some you can get rid of, some you would never get rid of even if you had the chance, glad you could lighten your load, so to speak!
