Prepping 


Getting ready to embark on a week long bike camping trip with a friend.  This is what the prep looks like. 

Note to self:  never sample Jack Daniels and pack. I STILL have no idea why the Christmas cards are included in the prepackaging for the trip. Or the bag of flour.  

Luckily I usually give myself a day or two to evaluate and unpack things I don’t need. 

Because it is a motorcycle camping trip in the Interior of BC  it puts me in bit of a quandary because we do not have a vehicle to lock the food into in case of bears. This means there will be no food, utensils, or cooking pots anywhere on the motorcycles or in the campsites. It’s just way too much of a bear attractant when we are in grizzly bear country.

Side Note:  tents are commonly called “zip lock snack bags for grizzlies”.  Think about it. 😉

Welcome to my blog. As a bit of a background ~ I am a middle aged woman who lives on Vancouver Island, Canada. But first and foremost, I am a motorcycle enthusiast. Here on the coast, even though we are Canadian, there is an opportunity to ride all year round (although some days during the winter are "iffy"). I used to ride a relatively 'small' cruiser as defined in today's market - a Canadian Anniversary Edition 2008 Vstar 650 Silverado which was a bike I truly fell in love with. Although it was a smaller bike, to be honest I'm a smaller woman. I stand 5' 2" in my stocking feet and only have a 27" inseam, which rules out quite a few of the bikes out there. In 2013 I had the opportunity to upgrade to a monster cruiser - a 2009 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic and now, my new steed is a 2016 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tail. Anyways - as we travel along this road we call life I'll reveal a bit more about myself (at some points it might prove to be too much). Come along with me.
