6th of August till 12th of August Being kept awake by sniffing bulls is a different experience, but we hope we can do some more wild camping as the solitude and quietness is amazing. It is primitive, especially if there is only a very small stream available to take water and wash. We were happy […]

30th of July – 5th of August This week had some challenging up and down hills mapped-out for us . Starting on Sunday with a nice hot day ahead of us and we needed to decide if we would take the alternate which should be easier or go over Lava Mountain. Of course we decide […]

23-07 – 29-07-2017 Ovando to Helena, capital of Montana In Ovando we spent our first night in jail ever! It was a jail from 1890, they call “hoosegow” in slang, but nobody knows why. Now restored for people to stay (you just give a small contribution per person). They also have a tepee and a […]

16th of July till 22nd of July Glacier National Park was beautiful. Happy we stayed in Whitefish to visit Glacier.

Being outside, remote, minimal traffic and testing your limits, linked with the possibility to bike to […]

Week 7 Lake Louise to Banff 25th of June till 29th of June. Normally our blog is from Sunday till Saturday but as we started the GDR on a Saturday  we will include that Saturday in our next Blog. Lake Louise, is it impressive? Turquoise coloured, 7 mountains which feed the lake, impressive hotel, souring […]

Week 6 What a luxury to have toilets with running water, what a luxury to have a sink with warm water. What a luxury to have clean water which you do not have to filter before drinking. What a luxury to have a running tap. or what a luxury to be outdoors and feel nature! […]

11th of June – 18th of June 2107. As we are burning a lot of calories we need to ensure to eat sufficiently. In Enderby we get the best omelet ever in the Cliff restaurant. This week we started to meet more dedicated local or long distance bikers. Frank and Jerry are biking to collect […]
