Farewell

Today was our last day of fun and freedom. The weather was perfect for our last day of riding at Whistler. We had a blast riding from 10am until the lift stopped at 8pm, with breaks for food and drink of course. Lost count of the number of runs we did - must have been at least a dozen in the main park of the bike park, and one long run from the top of the Village Gondola all the way down Whistler Mountain. We are both going to be stiff and sore - well, we already are.

Gloria has been cleaned, ready for packing in to her bike box tomorrow. When we get home she will have a well earned rest and a fork service. She has performed brilliantly throughout the trip - not one single problem, not even a flat tyre. And Jill managed not to fall off! Can't say the same for Joel, but only a few scratches and sore hands for him.

So - tonight is our last in our little home on wheels, ie the motorhome. First thing in the morning, we drive back to Vancouver to return it and pack and begin the long flights home.

This is where we have been:
 It is really only a very small part of Canada but we have travelled almost 10,000km through 3 Canadian states and 2 US states. And we have seen a lot of mountains, wildlife, rivers, lakes and it has been a wonderful experience. Thank you for coming along on my wayward wander.

Farewell Canada.
