Beginning the trip

We plan to leave July 23 from Calgary. Erik is riding a Tiger Explorer 1200, a demo from Triumph, which he is extremely excited to have for this journey. I will be on my Spyder. Just got it geared up with a new trunk and heated grips. We are both mapping out what we want to see and where we might stop. Not sure how much we will agree, but I guess this is part of the adventure. Museums vs. Winding roads....
