Rain in the morning, hidden in comfortable cabin enjoying that we are dry. About noon sun came out and also we. Biked through Bonanza pass (1535 m), met some senior bikers on they way up, then rode nearly 45 km down to Christina Lake. Hands on breaks all that time...
Met one touring biker on his trip around BC, after two months he seems that had enough. From Christina Lake we went to Grand Forks through nice valley, still following Hwy #3 and border with USA. Learn a little about the Doukhobors from Russia. While I did grocery, Baška met Martina, woman which did Trans-America bike trip by herself, when she was 23, now she lives here in Grand Forks so she invited us to stay at her house (first she saw us on Hwy, so she went home to ask family if it is ok to invited us for dinner and then she returned, hoping that we are still in the town). So we had amazing dinner with streaks prepared by her husband AJ, and then speaked a lot about ours journeys, countries, Martina showed us her photo album from bike trip, maps...

Hey this is Dan from the candian boarder outside of glacier. I was the younger guy starting his bike trip to San Diego and on to panama!! It has been great following your blog. I hope to see you on the 101!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Dan, I am Martina. I met Barbara and Martin in Grand Forks. After reminiscing about my trip on 101 many, many years ago my travel bug started tickling again to maybe attempt to continue my West Coast leg from San Diego down the coast to...Panama. That sounds like a great trip. If you like let me more about what you are planning timewise, how many klicks a day, etc. Maybe we can talk some more. Happy riding on 101, it's an awesome ride!
