I have quite the route planned for me since I have to be there early. I'm taking a full week off and leaving Edmonton to hang out in Jasper, AB for the night. I'll ride the oh so scenic and stunning Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) to Radium. I think Friar made it up here at one point to ride the Icefields parkway...or we had talked about it. I sure hope he did and if not, I will ride it for him. Will likely take me all day because I love to take pictures and I will be alone so I can! From Radium, BC I will make my way to Nelson with a couple stops I need to make to pick up some things.

Loving that I will be in a couple days early. I'll get some details finalized on the first day I am there as one of my fellow Boggers gets in from the Island a day early. He and I will tear up the roads on the Thursday morning before everyone starts to arrive.

The rest of my Boggers will be taking a semi-scenic route the first day from Edmonton down to Rocky Mountain House, to the David Thompson Highway which intersects with the halfway point of the Icefields Parkway and end up in Radium for the night. I am sure they will pop in to Fort Steele the next day on their way to Nelson and also meet up with our Calgary counterparts in Creston so they can bomb down 3A together.

Man I just want it to be July already!

Good news though...our bike show is this weekend and I am working in the Triumph booth. A new Triumph Canada guy is here this year so I am sure he and I will have lots to talk about regarding the Raid. Here's hoping I make a good impression so we get a decent about of SWAG!


Any day on my bike is the best day ever! That would be my custom painted 2007 Speedmaster or my 2002 Daytona 955i also known as my salt racing bike!
