”…it’s about the journey, not the destination…”
 |
| Brad and Micki were great hosts. |
The ride from Saskatoon to Edmonton went smoothly. I must admit I WAS focused on the destination this day. I was really looking forward to seeing Brad and meeting his wife Micki. I arrived at their house by about 4 PM. Micki came out and introduced herself to me and opened the garage door so I could put the bike in there.

| Enjoying an excellent breakfast. |
Brad had steaks for dinner that he cooked on the BBQ. We spent the evening catching up. I told Brad about the problem I had had with the latch for the left saddle bag. There was a Can Am dealer about 10 minutes from his house so we decided to take the bike there the next day to have the other latches checked and lubricated. After a pleasant night we went to bed.

Brad had taken the day off. He called the local dealer to see if they could squeeze me in. It turned out that he had a friend who worked in the service department. He told us to bring the bike in and he would get it checked out. After dropping the bike off Brad showed me around Edmonton. It is quite a large city. That afternoon we got a call from the dealer that the bike was finished. When we got there Brad’s friend told us that the latch on the right saddle bag did need to be adjusted and lubricated. The fee for the work was nominal, and when the mechanic brought the bike around he had even cleaned the windshield!

| Bundled up and ready for rain. |
The next morning Brad helped me pick out a destination for the day, Cranbrook AB, and the best way to get there. It was almost certain I would ride into some rain so I put on my rain gear when I left Brad and Micki’s.
