After Ralf took of West to Vancouver to get back to Germany it was obvious: these trip will come to an end soon and my Pony _ klr 650 needed urgently attention in respects especially the chain and the sprockets. After riding overloaded on AK with Gerry on the passenger seat the chain needed adjustment on and on. Also the sound from down there got more and more scary. OK so I started my "descent" into Oregon towards Alex's place who offered me to service my pony at his place. Thanks for that. I ordered tires, tubes, a chain kit, chain guidance, oil and different filters online and sent it to him.
So I rode westward out of Banff NP finding great roads on and off road in Southern BC _ so much fun!! More curves, switchbacks, up and downs on 200mls than the 3.000 before.!!
Actually my high school friend Anja texted me right at the perfect time. I decided to go west and see her and her family at Redmond WA instead of going more through east/central WA.
Also riding through Northern WA from the Okanogan Valley towards Seattle/Redmond was a fun and scenic ride.
We had a great evening exchanging news and seeing us after a long time again. So good.
Riding south I passed Mt Rainier and was lucky seeing him without clouded. Also here great rides through NP and on state park little roads.
