Whip Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 NOT Coast to Coast on I-10 in 50 hours in December......for wimps Check this guy out...Coast to Coast in Canada......As we speak http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109911&page=19 I got cold just reading about it. Whip BTW...I was on some of those roads in August and froze my butt off. Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Whip this sounds like a ride better suited for a snowmobile than a motorcycle. I have a friend who does a cross country/back country snowmobile trip every year but they only go 20 to 40 miles in a day. Riding when its cold with heated gear is one thing but trying to get through roads closed due to avalanches...sounds muy loco to me! To each his own. Cheers! Link to comment
g_nuse Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I think Paul and Richard could dream up some pretty exciting rides. Link to comment
Whip Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I bet Paul would tell me/us I'm crazy for riding across the country on I-10 in the July heat. Bet he's more comfortable where he is now than in 110 degrees with 90% humidity. Link to comment

Bet he's more comfortable where he is now than in 110 degrees with 90% humidity. I was raised in Arizona and I used to ride my road bicycle in 100 plus degree temps. Of course that was in very low humidity. In any case, I would rather be hot than cold any day. On the way back from the Range of Light Tour it was 118 degrees, that was dang hot but still better than freezing. Cheers! Link to comment

Huzband Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I have it on good authority, those guys on AdvRider are a bunch of posers! Don't put too much stock in what they claim. Once I get a GS, I'll give you the real story. Link to comment

g_nuse Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 This fellow Paul is having quite a trip. Good read and interesting to follow. It appears to be another shared ride adventure like Richard took us on. Link to comment

MikeRC Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Paul was once a member here, and has given good advice in the past to people asking for tips on Vancouver Island. He brought up his plan for a cross Canada winter trip on this website over 12 months ago, and the thread died with few replies. I have been following him over on the other board, and it really is a crazy plan, but he is 2/3 of the way across now (in Sault Ste Marie, ON). Mike Cassidy Link to comment

Bruno Valeri Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 This fellow Paul is having quite a trip. Good read and interesting to follow. Indeed, quite a ride! It's turning into a monster thread over at the ADV board. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109911 I'd expect the worst weather is yet to come. He's probably in the thick of it today as he goes across Nova Scotia riding his F650 Dakar. Bruno Montreal, Canada Gerbing Cascade Extreme jacket review : Link to comment
MikeRC Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 In case anyone is interested, Paul made it to St John's, Nfld today safe and sound. Here is a picture of his little 650 Dakar beside Bras d'Or Lake on Cape Breton three days ago: Mike Cassidy Link to comment
Whip Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks Mike I've been following his progress......I don't know anyone that could've done that....Congrats to Paul. Link to comment
g_nuse Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 ......and it's seems he has found a void in his life after this acheivement and is returning home, on the bike, across Canada, in the winter. (not sure which of these to select: ) Link to comment
