(June 30 - written by Dave) We had an exciting night in the old Woss Lake Campground.  We were in bed early and sometime – I have no idea what time it was – some varmints decided that they wanted to investigate our tent.  Small varmints of unknown origin.  Luckily, Nancy heard them and roused … Continue reading Sign confusion day –Woss Lake campground to Sayward Junction (74k/2642k)

(June 29 – written by Dave) We’ve arrived at the blip on the map called Woss.  In fact, we managed to find Woss Lake campground.  It had pretty mixed reviews but it turned out to be alright – nothing fancy but they have TP in the outhouses and enough budget to have garbage service, at … Continue reading 3 bikers day –Alder Bay to Woss Lake campground (71k/2568k)

(June 28 – written by Nancy) We’ve had a nice easy introduction to riding on Vancouver Island.  Yesterday we spent the morning in Port Hardy proper - it was about a 4k ride in from our campsite at Port Hardy RV Park.  At the recommendation of the park host we headed to Cafe Guido’s, where … Continue reading Heading down the Island – Port Hardy to Alder Bay (58k/2497k)

(June 27 – written by Dave) We’ve made it to Port Hardy.  We had a scenic long day yesterday out on the Inland Passage.  We left the hostel at 5:10, were ticketed and on the ferry at 6:30, sailed at 7:30 and finally docked in Port Hardy at 11PM.  We rode 6k from the ferry … Continue reading The Inland Passage (Prince Rupert to Port Hardy) (11k/2438k)

(June 25 – written by Dave) Greetings from Prince Rupert.  We’ve had a couple nice rest days here in PR – lots of chores done, some good coffee, some nice local beer, some great local seafood and today we even managed to cook egg and bacon rolls for brekkie.  So I think we are ready … Continue reading Rest days in Prince Rupert (0k/2427k)

(June 23 – written by Dave) That’s it, we are out of road on mainland Canada.  We either get on the ferry here in Prince Rupert, or we turn around and go back the way we came – going backwards is not in our DNA – so a ferry it is!  But that’s not until … Continue reading End of the road mainland Canada –Kasiks Wilderness Resort to Prince Rupert (89k/2427k)

(June 22 – written by Dave) First just a quick note on our last post...  Thanks to everyone who commented and gave us so much support.  It really does mean a lot to know that you guys are out there.  Until we “clear the area” we’ll be leaving further details out of the blog.  Just … Continue reading Iconic Canada – Terrace to Kasiks Wilderness Resort (63k/2389k)

(June 20 – written by Nancy) Well, what a day.  It feels like we are in a different world now, with both good things and not so good things.  We started off with a long night of rain, which started yesterday about 4pm and continued for most of the night.  It made for pretty humid … Continue reading Things we haven’t seen in a while – Kitwanga to Terrace (100k/2276k)

(June 18&19 – written by Dave) We woke to mostly blue skies and I was excited for a sunny day bike ride.  Nancy was not as excited as I was – she had an upset tummy overnight and not feeling 100%.  We knew that we only had 75k to ride so we took our time … Continue reading Double day –Meziadin Lake Park to Kitwanga (161k/2176k)

(June 17 – written by Dave) First a message about weather forecasts...  It was not near as cold overnight as they called for and today we were riding part of the day without our coats.  So much for freezing and snow.  We thought we were in for a real struggle and it turned out to … Continue reading 5 bears, a beaver and gaggle of grouse –Bell 2 to Meziadin Lake Park (98/2015k)
