Well, I was supposed to leave yesterday. I didn't. Somehow when I went to bed Monday night I knew I wasn't leaving Tuesday - obviously hindsight is 2020*, but I feel like I knew. The heat in Calgary yesterday was brutal, and I got lots of sun installing (well trying to install) heated grips, a USB charge connection, speakers for my helmet, and throwing things in piles to go into paniers. That first one was a doozy - the 1 hour job took me nearly 8 hours - and I had to ride the bike to GW cycle to get the improperly installed throttle grip off so I could shave down more of the throttle tube to fit the grip on enough - and still had to saw a bit off the grip to get it to fit my bars. All in all it was a frustrating (very very at the time) learning experience.
Hitting the road this morning once I'm packed. This is just an intro post for anyone keen to keep tabs on my trip!
*This is gonna be a great pun all next year!
Fresh start today! I hope your departure goes off without a hitch
