The road goes left

The road goes right.

The road goes........

I find there is no better way to meet, observe, laugh with, laugh at........ people(I won't even get into the pet thing) than cycle touring.

This guy behind Kris and Hyla was asking us if perchance we saw the other wheel for his bike over the past 20k's or so.
Nope!

I preach that is not about fitness, preparation, perseverance, .....

Its all about if you are 
LOOKIN'  GOOD

Nine out of ten here!

(there were times when I would be riding a couple of hundred metre back. The oncoming trucker's blasts on their horns seem to die out by the time they got to me??)

The road goes down.

That's all I have to say about that for now.

Lets not ruin a perfectly good post yet.

I wonder how far to Watson Lake?

No sooner than we sat down and were enjoying the best coffee in town, who did emerge from the adjacent motel was Jean Francois.

Another cycle tourer whom the girls have been hop scotching with across Canada.

JF joined us at our table and the three started a rapid fire conversation that no French English language barrier could stop.

The Brotherhood and Sisterhood of cycle travel.

Meeting again down the road and more stories.

JF is a terrific guy and embraces the passion of sport that I admire in many Quebecois.
Please take a look at JF's travels.

JF writes a touching commendation of the ladies.
Tres Bien, Tres Bien

I travel with some spare brake pads. Was going to offer Kristen the set just in case but the girl DOESN'T use brakes. Evident on this descent by that orange dot yonder.

For the loved ones reading this, I will not post Kristen's beaming announcements of her NEW personal best....

The Canada by Cycle guide noted that the if one wishes the fasted descent of the whole trip is just a day or two ahead.

OUR LADY OF BLESSED ACCELERATION, 
DON'T FAIL US NOW!

Now in Rossport and just a quick assualt to camp, we do a little sightseeing in this quiet but friendly village.

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car (did) to pass, here I go.

Golden Earing

Today was a good test. A 115km roller coaster.

I'm getting somewhere in life.
Stick around for a night of northern hospitality.
