They're going to be awesome, and IN VICTORIA!!!! Location: Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Ave, Victoria Date: Sunday, Aug 24th, at 7:30 pm What they are and what they do: Just incase you DONT know.. :) The sunshine coast tour is the Otesha tour thats running parallel to ours. And their final performance is in Victoria! They've been touring up the sunshine coast, and all over the island for the last two months on their bicycles. And if they've put anywhere near the amount of effort in to their play as we've put into ours (Im sure they have), then it [View Full Entry]

This was one of the most impressive tailwinds I've ever experienced. We had trouble standing upright the wind was so strong, and which way was it going? Precisely where we were going! That was the ... [more]

And heavier, too.. this truck was at one point the biggest truck in the world.
No I'm not going to "add" anything. But here are 3 more photos, taken since my last update. They have the internet, over here in Alberta, so I mind as well put it to use. The truck: Fricking huge. Kind of crazy to walk underneith it. Or stand in front of it. The valley: So, this last Thursday, myself and my teammates had a day off, in Fernie. We rode a little over 100km the day before, so we threw in a rest day into our scedule to keep from killing us all. And my, what a rest day in Fernie [View Full Entry]

Us attacking the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail.. or part of it. Sarah appears to be playing leapfrog with her bike.
Yipee! Photos finally! Feast yer peepers! Well well. Its been a very, very long time since Ive posted. But here they are, here I am, and wow, am I having a really great time. Such a great time, Im actually out of time.. but I should have just enough to outline our route. From Penticton where my last pictured post was sent in, we rode North to Kelowna, and then back south through Penticton to Osoyoos. From there we climbed Anarchist's Summit, over to Grand Forks. From there, it was off to Christina Lake, followed by the lovely section of the [View Full Entry]

Man, this is frusturating. I finally get to a place with some decent computers to do some internetting.. and the computer wont let me use my camera! Blast! Well, to let you all know, things are going rather.. well. Im having an amazing time, and have loved the beautiful scenery that we've been passing by. Its been awesome riding my bike every day, in addition to living with this awesome group of people. I also have dozens of great new photos, but.. you'll have to take my word for it. We're currently in Cranbrook, BC. Its a pretty rad place, we [View Full Entry]

This photo is too cool for words. Taken on route from Princeton to Keremeos, in rediculously hot weather.
Hello. After uploading nearly 30 photos, my energy is nearly depleted. Have no fear, my love for my newfound family and riding crew is not. Im generally having a really amazing time. Its great seeing both the good, bad, and ugly sides of everyone. We all love eachother very much. Never have I been so close with so many people at the same time. We are a roving family, we are a wandering community, we are a mobile army of happy go-lucky do-gooders. And do-gooders we are. By spreading the word about epic things like fair-trade coffee, sweatshops, ethical clothing, and [View Full Entry]

Portage
First Day

So here I am. Im sitting in a small Motel, in Harrison Hotsprings, BC. My Otesha group and I are camped about 8km from here, in Sasquatch Provincial Park. We've been having a great ride so far. Travelling on bike has yet again proven to be awe-inspiring, even moreso with a group of people like my Otesha family. We are a group of diverse, strong-willed, hearty travellers, all with different strengths and weaknesses. We support one another, stand behind one another, care about one another. We are a family, a community, a team. Together, we go through hardships and high times, [View Full Entry]

Crest-o-the-hill
An accomplishment, not a massive one, but still..
So, I made it, so far. Quarda Island ain't seen nothin like me (they likely have). A cyclist full of crraaap. My bike, she's a heavy beast. She rolls, and is excellent at picking up speed going down hill, but does not really climb so well. Tuesday, June 24th, day one: 102km, after 4.5 hours of travel time. I camped just south of Nanaimo, in between two fields of very tall grass. Was exhausted, went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 5am. What a nice sleep. Wednesday: 135km after 6.5 hours of travel time. Rode all the way up the [View Full Entry]
