Whistler

While in Vancouver we took a day trip to Whistler with Ben's buddy James.

Vancouver and beyond

Sorry for the delay.  I've been a combination on busy andInternet-less.

Lets start with leaving Calgary.  We left the Weston promptly at 10am after an awesome breakfast buffet.  You can't beat the Westin's breakfast, especially for half off.

We rode for about an hour and saw lake Louise. 

We pushed forward through Banff and got stuck behind some construction. 

We were supposed to stay in revelstoke, but the place was dirty and creepy.  Ben went to you the toilet and it was back up to the seat.  Eeww..  So we pushed forward.  Towards Vancouver.  This ended up being on of our longest rides.  It was a combination of awesome and shitty.  Th e morning was great.  We saw Banff and it was excellent riding conditions. Once we passed salmon arm things got wet. 

The ride past salmon arm sucked. It was raining, windy and we had to go over a mountain pass.  Semis were passing us and kicking up a ton of water. But we finally made it to bens house in Vancouver.  

Ben and his mom

We almost were in Vancouver for the fair. So we went with bens friends Jon, Bryce, and Michelle.

Canadian tagging 

Michelle and the rides didn't get along

Yes that's that first aid guy throwing up peace signs. 

We crossed the border into Washington and then into Oregon 

Creepy street art

Oregon coast

The next two days had some really technical riding for the street.   Sharp corners with tons of grade changes.

We also saw the Oregon sand dunes

Pee break

 

Sorry for delay. Update coming soon

Updates to come. 

Oh Canada

We left kalispell Montana early and road through glacier national park. 

We took the going to the sun road

And finally we made it

GT AND YS

Here are some photos along route 12

I got caught in my pannier. 

Back on schedule

We left Salt Lake City early Sunday morning, after a run in a with tweaker in a McDonald's.  

Overall Ben and I concluded that Salt Lake City was lame. There was no character.  Maybe we missed something but it seemed very boring. 

We took the 15 to the 91 to the 89 and then the 26.  Today's riding was a blast. I had are really good time and the miles just flew by.  I believe that we're around d 1,200 miles in. 

The rode along snake river which had people white water rafting.  I would really like to come with Sandra next time and go rafting.  

When we crossed a hill along the Utah and Idaho boarder we saw bear lake

Although we went in idaho for too long I enjoyed it.

Finally we got into Wyoming  Home of grand Teton and Yellowstone. 

My helmet got absolutely destroyed by bugs.  

Even my bike

Waiting for old faithful.

And waiting

Until....

Nope.  Still waiting

One Our way back to camp we had some down time due to construction 

We got back to camp and started cooking dinner.  We had over an old friend. 

When we left the parks we went through the Teton pass.  It was amazing. 

We were super High up.

And after six boring hours we reached...

More updates to come.
