Ohhh, it’s a cold one this morning. Looks like it’s gonna heat up soon. Sooner if these slackers don’t get outta bed. You think they’d learn. I mean, in this age of interwebs and such, it’s pretty easy to look up how this trip goes. Every year we drop the tents on the slowpokes.[...]

That’s what I need after a rainy night. Some serious fried up breakfast scramble. Oh, and sunshine would be nice too. Yesterday was the big day. Today is the fun day. We start off with a short downhill, a visit to the store, and then a tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel, it’s[...]

Nice helmet. Way to set the example. Well, today would be the longest day, so to speak. It’s official now, these guys rip. We got to the tunnel in no time. Contrast with last year when there were multiple breakdowns and super slow riders. My ass didn’t even get sore today. So, my new camera[...]

It ain’t easy…bein’ Steezy. Yes, that’s sunshine. Hence the shades. Not so sure about the hiked up shorts though. Funny how they both end up at the same place… OK, so the ride was the usual. A bit slow, a lot of remarks about how lame this is, can we ride on the road, etc.,[...]

If this is St Georges school, then it must be nearly Spring. Another year of taking the boys out for a rip on flat gravel. Found a bit of a better campsite for our first day. I’m just glad it’s not snowing. And for our guides? Cube Van camping! Comes with an adjustable height kitchen…
Dude, can we go home now? Sure can. After one more little ride around the lake you’re free to never ride a bike again. That was a big pile of fun. No more KVR until next May!
Is it that time again? Sure is…another year, another KVR tour. Andrew Kay is back again this year, and so are Danika and Coran. New this year are the lovely Johanna and ….. Alex. Oh, and of course a fresh batch of Grade 10 boys. We got the traditional rain on the first night. Also,[...]

Ahhh, the end is in sight. The boys are feeling a bit better about the trip now. There was some local stunts built in the ghost town of Granite City, so we investigated. I don’t know if the old miners could have possibly imagined this kind of behaviour. Oh well, the world keeps on turning.[...]

Good morning campers! How’s the bum feeling this morning? Oh, and I’d better say Happy Birthday to me sister. So…. Happy Birthday! Mellow ride up the canyon today. I love this part of the ride. It’s pretty cool with the tunnels and trestles. Lunch time. A whopping 12 km down the trail. I told you[...]

Unlike last year, things seem to be going suspiciously smoothly. We’ve had to join both groups into one flailing mess this year due to weather and a lot of downed trees on the Summerland end of the trail. It should be interesting. Looks like a good group of boys this time around though. Yo, Philly![...]

Yup, it’s that time again. Another year, another group of guys that will never ride a bike again.
It’s the final day of the trip and Monica has had enough of us. We argue, we fart, we’re rude, and we have cameras on us when it’s too early to be decent. The last day is an informal race around the lake, which is just another way of saying that we make the little[...]

The canyon day is always the best day. This is a pretty cool ride, even if it’s still completely flat. Lots of tunnels and bridges and old stuff lying around. When you leave Princeton, you go through a tunnel underneath the highway to Vancouver, and on the other side you cross a bridge right away,[...]

OK, I think we’ve finished with the mayhem for this trip. Wel, before I say that, aI should tell you that after we unstuck the 3 ton yesterday, Andrew managed to have the trailer unhook itself on the dirt road back to camp. Lucky guy. Speaking of lucky guys….meet Dave, Riley, and Shai. They could[...]

Well, we arrived late, so we figured a little sleep in might be in order. Besides, the other group had a huge day today so I had given orders for them to get going early. By 10:30 I was starting to get a little worried though, even though the guys in our crew said they[...]
