Yesterday evening the last four members of the group arrived. Now we are ten.
Today Symon (a 53 year old Scot who has his own boat building business) and I went for a little run to make sure our bikes were OK. We went inland and discovered both beautiful roads up and down quite steep hills/mountains (i.e. ‘twisties’) and a lovely lake where we stopped for a coke (see photo album).
Also got to try out my new head cam (see below). It works well?
The rest of the day was spent just packing all the gear ready for setting off tomorrow and then going up to the group leader’s cousin’s house for a BBQ.
It’s now 10.30pm and my room mates asleep and I’m about to go to bed: Slightly nervous because there’s no turning back now and the stories we heard about Canada and Alaska at the BBQ tonight both exited you and made you a little apprehensive. Not about motorbike riding but about the wildlife we’ll see on route and the mosquitos we’ll encounter!.
