I shout out to Kev that I see a bear - he just tells me to concentrate on the ride! We are slow to start, the light is grey and hazy in the early morning, but as the day goes on, we have an empty open road to ride and can make great timing.
We pace the ride well. This time we cover slightly shorter distances and take slightly longer breaks to make sure we don't burn out too soon. There is still 34 days to go!
As we turn onto Highway 16 to Prince George, we suddenly meet traffic again. It is clear we are out of the "wilderness" now and back onto the main roads. RVs and trucks slow down our progress and there are many more communities to pass through where we have to brake right down. We cannot get a traffic ticket!!
At our stop for the night, one of our American friends, Jeff Anspach, has met us to ride with us for the next day or so. We have not seen him for four years and the last time was Rio in Brasil. Now the Beast (our bike) has a bright shiny VFR to ride with too. We think the company will boost our moral and keep us going.
