Finish

They fucking did it!
Kris and Brad are now in Vancouver with me!!!

FINISH

Kris and Brad in this morning were in Hope. And they have decided to try to finish today.
I will try to join them for last kilometres. There is left around 150 km to go.
They sad they will be here today no matter what.
The BIG adventure will be over but probably we will start a new one :)

340km to go

Brad and Kris had token little bit detour and they are going through Ashcroft and they will take Highway 1. Cause people recommended that way.

They stayed one more extra day in Kamloops and fixed their bikes, because their bikes were in terrible condition. So they are fixed know and they are ready to go.

Kris and Brad will stay 2 nights in Ashcroft and will try to get last adventures by going fishing. Good luck guys and bring some fish 4 us :)

I have decided to meet guys by Vancouvers sign and bike last metres with them :)

Thx to everyone who helped us and them in this BIG journey !!!

It would be nice if they would get here in 28th November so it would be exactly 3 months they have dedicated to this lifetime adventure.

Take care...

355 km to go

Kris and Brad now are or will be by the end of this day in Kamloops. And that is only 355 km from Vancouver.
Guys are cycling really fast right now. I think they are getting tired, cold and dont have extra money.

A very big TNX to those people who will let Brad and Kris stay in house in Kamloops.
I hope to see these guys very very soon :)

What happened to guys in 2 and half months

Its been more than 2 months since last time i saw those to "retards" :D

So what happened in this loooooooooong time... i wont tell everything in small details just will give u the big picture. Probably some day Kris will write a book about this and Brad will compose a big theme song for a craziest bike ride ever done.

I just message from those two "retards" that they are just 465 km away from Vancouver. Who would ever believed that hey would actually achieve West coast? I am really proud that i know these guys. They already have done impossible.

So Kris and Brad are in just by Kamloops in BC. And that gave me inspiration to start writing again in this blog. I will tray to keep track every day.

They are almost broke ( in money). If someone have an extra buck in his/her pocket send me so i can send to them :)

Brad and Kris are happy about what they are doing and they are saying this is best thing ever happened to them.

Of course they had a lot of difficulties in their way, but who dont. But thsese things made them little bit more careful, just a little bit.

So spread a word around about these guys :)

Take care.

first few days without martin

Kris and Brad fixed Brads bike in evening when i left. Brads bike had 8 shaped back tire.
They stayed overnight in Tree Doctors shag.
In morning (Labor day) they looked for some breakfest till they found small restoraunt. They had good breakfest and when they wanted to pay one huy before them already payed for them.
Thay thanked him and talked little bit with him. Then they hitted the road again.
Kris had some little problems with chain. But later on they fixed and everyhing was ok again.
After 40 km they stopped near lake where they rested for 2 h . THere came one woman who offered to stay overnight in hers bakcyard. So they did it.
All night they had fun with hers doughter and doughters boyfriend.
Next day they hitted big hills. They rested by some kind of Native Indian store and had conversations with other motorbikers and other people.
Then one woman from Taiwan comes along and asks - Are u the gays who are from Toronto and are u going to Vancouver? And u ( Kris) are from some far away country La...La...Latvia? And wher is 3rd gay?
As it clear out later on - she is crossing Canada by her self on bike too.
She stayad overnight somewhere in that area with some gay and offered Kris and BRad to stay too. But they continued.
After few really hard hills they didn't have lot of enegry left and they setted up a tent.
SOme people on the way gave them Pepsi, chocolate bars and other things.
THey miss me( martin).

We are still ok.

All day we had to ride against wind. It was hard. Our average speed were only 20.5. We did 122 km. It was against wind and up hill.
We had some rain in morning and had to make some stop to cover from rain. That way we lost like an hour or more.
We did made all way to Walkerton. We are staying over night at our first Couchserfing place. This is beatiful countryside. Lovley family. Thank you for letting us sleep at your place. Thanks to Gord, sad we couldn't met, maybe other time.
