Roadkill buddies.

I have two new friends who are going to join me on my adventure. One, is "roadkill bart simpson" a keyring figurine that's slightly mangled and bug eyed.

The other is gumby, who survived the yellowhead traffic, without too much harm done: he is, afterall.... Gumby.

I'll post pictures when I can find me some "true" internets, maybe in jasper.

You find the weirdest shit on the side of the road. These two pals, wil be my buddies.

As for my actual buddies (who left last week, also for the sea, also on bikes) they last reported in cache creek BC, which is just on the other side of the border. They're priobably only a day and a half away, but it sounds as if they've picked up a bit of steam as well. Regardless, it took me three days to get to where they were after a week. It's an inevitability that I will pass them, it's just a matter if when.

I do however have a significant advantage, in that I'm alone, which means fewer breaks, and likely longer days. I push as hard as I can, rather than pushing as hard as the slowest can keep up with.

Still, it'll be nice to see some friendly faces, it can get squirrelly on the road with no-one to talk to: espescially at the end of the day when camp has been made.

Today will be amongst the most beautiful riding that this country has to offer. The weather is supposed to be nice, so, it should be enjoyable.

Last nights rain wasn't too bad, the tarn, really is a great tent. I've gotta fetch my mp3 player from the park narcs, who let me charge it overnight. It'll be good to have some tunes for the road.

that's all for now.
