Total miles since Bellingham: 5416
Woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of rain on the roof, yeah, this is the first rain I've heard since leaving Skagway Oct. 10th.
Soon after the sound of the rain the Howler Monkeys started in calling to one a other, best guess 3:00, not much sleep till sunrise.
Packed up, email to Knikki, as Jim says my "Knikki fix", yes I agree. Coffee, navigation meeting, another great meal.
Jimi, master navigator.
We say good byes to Nicko, Kelly, Martin, Heather and Christian, the owners and staff at Essense and we are on our way.
The KTM doesn't kick start, good thing that we're parked on a mountain. Max bump starts her and we are on our way in the rain. Cloud forest, rain forest what did we expect.
First half of the ride stayed in the rain and fog temps in the 70's. After lunch down out of the mountains to the Pacific coast. Loving my riding gear, staying dry. Now if someone finds the cure for face shield fogging.
Lot's of traffic, mountain bikes with race numbers on and a ton of cars with surf boards on the roof. Turns out there was a surf competition in the area over the weekend. No one was very sure about a bike race.
KTM runs better however we now have to bump start it or tow start it. A pain either way.
KTM devotions for mid day.
For whatever reason the KTM is now in control of the trip. It dictates wether we move or not, where we stop (on a hill preferably) and how quickly move. Hopefully the new starter and carb part will cure the problems.
Todays lunch stop with a view.
Jimi found a great place for the night, great shower, ahhhh, cooked in some kinda for backpacker freeze dried something.
We are all tired and in need a good night sleep.
Tomorrow another border crossing.
