I had a slip and fall several years back and lost a month on my bike. Man that pissed me off.

 

Loading up and heading out. Decided on Sea to Sky (99 north through Whistler) and will lay over in 100 Mile House tonight. Picts and stories coming....

 

Darla, Rocky and "Bear" ready to roll ..... Atlas itching to tag along. Something tells me he is a traveling dog.



Sea To Sky racetrack.....

 

Rocky left Vancouver,
in the year of '17.
With Darla ... his partner,
and Bear "leading" his team.

...I punched Fairbanks into the GPS ....'nuff said....

 

Enjoy the ride. Post pics when you can.

 

I will let the pictures speak mostly for themselves....



Duffy lake ..... I stopped here for Second Breakfast











Just a small taste of 99



The cut is where 99 goes towards the coast

 

A good day. Got packed up and headed North. It is busy to Whistler. A nice road and a beautiful view ..... But Whistler is a s**thole, it was when I skied there over 40 years ago, and it still is .... as a matter of fact, they built Whistler Village on the old garbage dump ....if you into the mountains sure, skiing or summer stuff, but Whistler Village is one large outdoor mall. I went in last year. Waste of time.

Once you leave Pemberton 13% grades and 15 mile an hour corners. And it climbs over 4,000 ft from Sechelt. The road was a bit bumpy in places, but mostly good. A few sections of seal coating but it set up well and there is no loose gravel. You need to watch very carefully for loose rock coming of the mountains as they are right beside the road. No place to play Rocket Race Bike.

It got cool once I started to climb and I had my electrics on. A good downpour just south of 100 mile, but not enough for rain gear. It's a nice surprise how well the lowers keep the legs and boots dry.

Very twisty all the way, and it lightens up around Lilooett. Then once you get on 97, it's an undivided highway. Boring all the way to 100 mile house, but pretty.

99 is a bucket list road. If your in Vancouver, take it North.

 

Not sure how far tomorrow. Get up when I get up, start looking for a place around 2/3. No hurry to do anything.

Oh ya ..... about 3,400 miles on this run so far.

 

Darla wants to go up the Alcan. I want to go up 37. There might be a fight around Prince George.

 

^^^^
A decision I wouldn't want anyone to make! LOL!

We'll be watching!

40 years ago this August, I made the trip to Alaska with my folks in a pickup/camper, something I will never forget, 1200 miles of gravel, 6-7 flats (I think) 30 days of travel and 12'000 miles, it was much different back then!

Safe travels my friend!
