Tomorrow marks the beginning of our trip down the Pacific Coast towards Mexico. We will be departing Victoria and be heading towards the San Juan Islands in Washington, crossing the border in the the United States. It feels a little surreal to have finally finished crossing Canada. It is by far the longest trip we... Continue Reading →
Day 116 – We have arrived in Vancouver!!
We have arrived in Vancouver at last. We are staying with Nancy and Alastair's place for the next week as we get ready for our journey to San Diego. We are reading our "Bicycling the Pacific Coast" book which we had sent to Vancouver from PEI. It is really nice to finally have a guide... Continue Reading →
Day 115 – Harrison Hot Springs to Vancouver
We had a wonderful rest at Harrison Hot Springs. We had expected rain over night and during the day as per the forecast, but it was cloudy and dry when we woke up. The town was also very quiet, and even though we had camped right 'downtown', we slept very well. We had a good... Continue Reading →
Day 114 – EC Manning Provincial Park to Harrison Hot Springs
We said good bye to Lorne and Myra in the cold morning, and headed back along the road. Traffic was very light, and as soon as the sun got over the mountains and started hitting the road it warmed up. We had so many layers on it took a while as we continually stopped to... Continue Reading →
Day 113 – Hedley to EC Manning Provincial Park – The toughest climb of the entire trip
We woke up to the cool temperatures at our 'rustic' campground. It was windy and a little on the cold side in the shade of the mountains. We got a fire going very quickly and had breakfast. Once we got back on the rode the sun started to shine on the road which made a... Continue Reading →
Day 111 – Kelowna to Peachland
We did not have the smoothest start to the day. We had planned on taking the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail to Pentincton, but we were naive to think that the climb and access to the trail would be paved and easier than the section we had went up in a vehicle on the weekend. It... Continue Reading →
Day 109 to 110 – Still in Kelowna enjoying the sunshine
We decided to stay for the weekend as well in Kelowna with Olya. We ended up spending almost a week but Olya seemed to enjoy the company 🙂 On Saturday we took a rental vehicle up to the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail which we had been hearing about from other cyclists on our trip. It... Continue Reading →

We can't believe it is October already. We also can't believe how nice the weather has been since we arrived in Kelowna. Sunny and warm everyday! Today it's suppose to even go up to 26 degrees! Is is finally the weekend for Olya so we are planning on spending some time with her out and... Continue Reading →
Day 107 – Temporarily back to a slightly regular life in Kelowna
We decided to stay in Kelowna for a few more days with our friend Olya while we take care of our errands and get ready for our trip down the west coast. We are planning on heading out around this Monday Oct 4th (originally Sunday Oct 3rd, time is flying by!).
Day 105 to 106 – Rest days in Kelowna
We are quite a bit behind on our blog so we will be catching up in the next couple of days. Both Katherine and I have come down with a cold since a couple of days ago so we are taking it easy and recovering at our friend Olya's place. On the upside the weather... Continue Reading →
