Made it home early this week, two and a half days on planes (Now there's another story to tell). Nearly 18000km completed on the bikes, some spectacular scenery, snow capped mountains, glacier fed rivers and lakes, wild bear, awesome roads and heaps of friendly people. Riding in the snow was a new experience for a Queenslander, and temps from -2 degrees C to +44 degrees C. Couple of minor bikes probs, overall weather was good (about 5 wet days out of 65), and the bikes were still shiny side up at the end of the trip. Can't beat that.
Only back long enough to make enough money to go again.
Would I do it all again, shit yeah!

Now where to next time?????

If your leaving from Vancouver I would suggest that after you get into the mountains hitting hyw 193 (i think it was) and heading South to the Radium Springs then continue South into the US. The further South you go before heading East again the better. Unless you really want to see the prairies, but they are pretty boring. It only took 2 days to get from Kenora (ontario) to Calgary (alberta) because its just a straight boring ride. And on the way home I went through Montana, North Dakota ect, and it was equally flat and boring, another 2 day trip (long days though). The mountains in Alberta/BC are not to be missed though. Northern Ontario is nice riding as well, Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay to Kenora, is beautiful.
