2023 Summer Trip.
Planned a week in Lake Tahoe with friends so obviously I had to expand it to a big trip since the car hasn’t exploded yet.
2022 Bonus Winter Trip to visit my friends Carmen and Ryan at their new house in Tuscon.
Part 4: Leaving Tahoe
Back on the road with the bike still hanging on by a thread. Doing more Northern California big mountains.
Part 1: Leaving Home
Mainly crossing through the Rockies doing as many mountains as I could, not that Canada has many.
Part 2: Mega Drive
Zooming down from Calgary to Salt Lake city and discovering that there’s still snow everywhere in May.
Part 3: Bike Slowly Dying
Amazing vistas and mountains but mounting mechanical issues start to derail my plans. Made it to Lake Tahoe at least.
Part 5: Time to go back
Bike gave up for good so it was truly time to go back. Lot of unfortunate material emergencies this trip.
Driving Down To Tuscon
Driving over 1000km in 3 days to go stay at my friend’s house in Tuscon!

Tuscon: Prime winter destination for North American cyclists. Also has cool statues of quails. Woah.
