Jasper to Kamloops is beautiful riding, first on BC16 to Valemount, then down 5 to Kamloops. Enjoyed the views, but didn’t stop much once I passed Mt. Robson. That’s another area I’d like to come back to and it will have to be a different trip.
Canadian Rockies Day 9: Jasper
The weather remained “unsettled” as it has been for much of the trip, with clearing promised in the afternoon. As on previous days, I was tempted to dunk myself into the cold water where I could, but the weather wasn’t quite warm enough.
Canadian Rockies Day 8: Banff – Jasper
I rode northeast on the Trans-Canada, initially in the direction I came from, but I turned north onto the Icefields Parkway near Lake Louise. Weather was variable, at times chilly, but mostly pleasant enough despite the overcast and occasional haze.
Canadian Rockies Day 5-7: Banff
Day 7 was rain, rain and more rain.
Canadian Rockies Day 4: Revelstoke – Banff
As soon as I hit the summit, I ran into a downpour and temps dropped quickly. I was glad for it and didn’t mind the brief rain.
Canadian Rockies Day 3: Nelson – Revelstoke
One of the nicest bits of road I’ve been on so far.
Canadian Rockies Day 2: Osoyoos – Nelson
The weather continued to be “unsettled” but wasn’t too bad. I’ve definitely been through worse recently.
Canadian Rockies Day 1: Seattle – Osoyoos
I decided somewhat spontaneously to take a week’s trip up to the Candian Rockies.
The Sunshine Coast in Rain, Then Home
All in all a miserable trip, but probably not a bad choice for a shakedown cruise, both for the bike and myself. Logged close to 700 miles, which is less than I had planned for, but not terrible given my condition and lack of recent distance riding.
Qualicum Beach to Powell River, Motorcycle and Ferry
I started in Qualicum Beach, and after 2 hours of riding, a ferry and very little bad weather, I found myself at the end of the road.
