Had a great ride on what may be the last hot day of the summer. Met the alpahbetman in Moyie for some Chish and Fips. A nice ride all around though I missed the ferry from Crawford Bay to Balfour on my ride home and had to wait over an hour and twenty minutes. Also the slowest ride ever from Balfour to Nelson .. ugh I really hate that road. DH1 along the lake was awesome though with no traffic at all and the Triumph was handling beautifully ! Nice ride of just over 400 km. No puckers and no police ... lots, I mean lots of dead skunks though. I must have seen about 8 today
... what is that about ???
Note: Kootenay Pass is being paved on this side and there are the usual bumps, new pavement and grooved areas. Terrible signage too.
Forgot to get a pic of the Triumphs in front of the old pub in Moyie. Worst coffee of all time btw but pretty good lunch.
On the way back I did a high speed pass of a long line of cars and trucks on the big straight just east of Creston. I was shocked when I checked the GPS upon arriving home. Surely this must be wrong ... I didn't go that fast ... nah ... no way!! Just goes to show they are not always accurate as I doubt I went any faster than about 200. Would not be good to be stopped by a GPS savvy Mountie !! ... BTW the moving average is low because I left the GPS on during the 35 min ferry crossing at 22 kmh.
A nice but cool moment on Kootenay Pass at about 1C earlier this morning with me all a shiver in my perfed gear and my electric vest left on my work bench at home ...
Thanks Dave that was a good idea !!
