(to the tune of “Riders on the Storm” by The Doors)
Riding through the snow
Riding through the snow
I’m riding pretty slow
Through the killer winter cold
Water dripping from my nose
Turns into an icicle
Because of all the snow

I had lots of Lego bricks as a kid. But I never, ever built anything like this.

Hand-built scale model Ferrari 312
This nutter built a perfect, working model of a Ferrari 312 by hand.
My dad always told me to pursue a balanced life. Not so this guy.
Chase Scene from Bullitt
Until today, I had often heard of, but never viewed, the iconic chase scene from Bullitt with Steve McQueen.
Today, I understand a little of why it is The referenced chase scene with which all others are compared.
And apparently, I need to watch The World’s Fastest Indian. Hmm… maybe I do…
Maybe for some folks this isn’t the most epic motorcycle tour ever. But for me, it’s huge.
Six men. Six bikes. One thousand, one hundred fifteen kilometres. Four days.
I’m lovin’ it!
Here’s the map: Read more…

We’ll leave Castlegar in the morning and head to Grand Forks and Rock Creek on the Crowsnest Highway #3 and then Highway #33 to Kelowna. This will take us past the Nancy Greene summit, the Blueberry-Paulson summit and over the pass past Big White Ski Resort (http://www NULL.bigwhite NULL.com/).
After Kelowna, we’ll ride the “back side” of Okanagan Lake to Vernon, where apparently we’re staying overnight in a yurt (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Yurt). The next day it’s Highway #6 to the Needles-Fauquier Ferry across the Lower Arrow Lake (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Arrow_Lakes), and then along the lake to Nakusp.
After Nakusp, we continue along Highway #6 through the Slocan Valley back to Castlegar.
Good times!
Four thousand, four hundred and twelve kilometers. Ten days. Of that, nearly fifteen hundred kilometers in two driving days on the motorcycle with my lovely on the back.
