Banff, Canada

Yum! Ribs!

A native bird, The Magpie

Unpacking "THE BEAR"


There are many different modes of transportation on the Divide.


Sitting below Mt. Crumpit


Unpacking the bikes at the hotel

You never know what type of terrain you will encounter on the Divide.

What can I say, it's Canada

The Rig


The Bear with all the gear on him
The Saddle Bag that compresses really well. Do not attach gear on the outside like shown because it falls off

Dual Speedometers

The Front Bag. Contains tent, sleeping bag, and air mattress. Also the shoes hang in the front and the water bottle cages are on the shocks.

A problem with the seat bag is the little clearance over the 29 inch wheels

The Handle bar with Aero bars. The Avenir bag at the bottom is where i like to put small foods to munch on.

Top view of the bike. You can see the emergency tarp attached to the front frame. This is later attached to the back of the saddle bag.


Fully packed ready to go!

Santos Trail

The Florida Land Bridge
Uncle Jeff sneaking in some little Debbies while I look at the map
Picnic Tables are a luxury
My one person tent with the storm guard on it
What a morning, waking up to our own personal campground
