James Bay and Trans Taiga Road - Day 1

Finally the day has come, another tour into a remote area in Canada. Bike and rider are (hopefully) prepared for the challenge.



Made it about 200 miles North into Vermont, a beautiful part of New England that never fails to impress with its sublime scenery.
Pitching a tent, eat, sleep, ride and repeat for the next 9 to 12 days, depending on factors like weather, bikes, gear and riders holding up.


The bike is packed up like never before, carrying camping gear, food, water, spare parts and tools meant to compromise on other stuff like camera gear. Clothes had to be carefully down selected to the minimum, but enough to protect against the elements.

Tomorrow’s plan is to cross the border to Canada and head to the meeting point from where George and I will take on the challenges we set for ourselves.


Camp Day 1 - Barton VT

The weather forecast says: Isolated Thunderstorms early morning followed by rain, sounds like the new BMW Enduroguard suit will be put to the test right away.

Beer and burger for dinner and that's it for today.

Odometer reading
