Home bitter sweet home

Day 20: Calgary - Vancouver The departure day was like every departure day. Saying goodbye to everyone, taking a taxi, and going through the airport routine. Dad shared a taxi with me even though his flight was in the afternoon, and our two bike ...

Day 16: Jasper - Columbia Icefields 108km The hotel was so kind to provide us with another excellent breakfast, which was especially nice because it was fairly cold outside. I had dressed again like I was going to cross country ski, and we left in ...

Rest

Day 10: Rest day in Prince George Since we had finished all chores yesterday after our bike ride, we had a free day ahead of us. Prince George is a decently sized town of concrete buildings (barely any high-risers) and two lane streets that are ...

Cold Lakes

Day 7: Tyhee Lake - Burns Lake 150km The rain didn't disappoint; it poured all night and still rained steadily in the morning. I had already informed Max, the tour leader, yesterday that I wanted a spot in the van to drive to lunch. At that time, ...

Day 6: Ksan - Tyhee Lake 90km Another beautiful day on the bike! Although it looked like it would be raining pretty heavily right when we left, we only got a brief shower in the morning, and dried up in a few minutes. We left the campsite crossing ...

2 long days

Day 4: Prince Rupert - Terrace 147k The first real day on the bike! Although the 67k with headwind on the island was fairly intense as well. Today was the first full day and it was exactly how I had imagined this tour: sunny and lots of ...

Day 0: Arrival in Sandspit On Friday June 2, my dad and I flew in a tiny plane from Vancouver to Sandspit. Because the taxi didn't show, we had to stuff 2 bikes and 4 bags (and 2 people) in my car, rush to the airport, and leave it there. But we ...
