Story of my life, I haven’t blogged in ages. Oopsies. But in my personal opinion, blogging to me is like trying to take pictures of all the places we’ve seen: it can’t do it justice. There’s no way I can describe all the people we’ve met and the places we’ve been accurately. This trip, so […]
Day 50 Kitwanga to Meziadin Lake BC July 21st Miles: 95 Blog readers and supporters. I have a kind request to make. The rockies team is now officially out of spare tubes. Yea…so that means we have to resort to patching for the rest of the summer. Not the best thing for a group of […]
Day 49 Smithers to Kitwanga BC July 20th Miles: 71 Ramadan. As a Muslim its one of the most important months of my life.

July 18th Miles: 80 Operation Purple safe. for those who don’t know what it is, its kind of like an Amber alert. We’re now in the deep country of Canada and its only gonna get deeper. Which means as riders we gotta stay safe. Today we conducted that. At all cost and reason, ensure that […]
To pick up where I left off… We woke up in Hollys amazing accommodations in bozeman. She cooked an amazing egg casserole with toast and fresh strawberries. We head over to the community center for one of the most meaningful ride dedication circles yet. So many people from the community joined. It just gives us […]
