The Best Four Day Ride Ever in my experience

4 Day Motorcycle Ride: August 20-23, 2021

Please note:

1. You need a valid passport and proof of Covid vaccination to enter Canada.
2. You will also (at this time) need to get a PCR test within 72 hours of the 20^th.
3. What is listed below is what I intend to do. Some like to get up later in the morning, or use an alternate route, or camp out instead of a motel, etc. All other ideas are fine, but I will stick to my own plan and if others want to ride with me that would be fine.  Other choices are also fine.
4. If you want in, you need to act now.  Motels in Nakusp seem to be almost full.
