After a very very long (whingy) plane ride, we arrived safely at Vancouver, (without Trumble killing Hannah!). Upon arrival to Canada, we were greeted by the very friendly face of long lost friend Amy Kilpatrick. We ventured into Vancouver and our adventures began from there. We spent the first day touring the city, very similair Read More »

We started the day on the Craigs and headed our way to the bike shop that had disassembled and boxed our bikes and the majority Read More »
We arrived at Climate Camp after dark with the bicycology group after a well paced 10 mile ride from the Common Place in Leeds. I’d never ridden in such a large group of bikers, there was an amazing energy pushing us all toward our destination. It was a good change from our mode of travel, Read More »
