Although I spent last night at a small roadside motel I had a surprisingly good nights sleep and was up by 6am and on the road by 7. My ride today was on the Stewart Cassiar highway, the first of the 6 Canadian\/Alaskan highways that I am determined to ride. Contrary to some of the reports that I read, the road was easy and even the dirt stretches that I encountered were a walk in the park for the BMW and I.<\/p>\n

The common reference to this particular road is that it traverses some of the most beautiful parts of Canadian British Columbia and although it was freezing and it rained for much of the day, the vistas didn\u2019t dissapoint. Early into the ride I encountered 3 black bears and a jackal but still no moose notwithstanding a gazillion warning signs!<\/p>\n

I am spending the night at a small town called Dease Lake and fortunately its a one horse town because I want to do nothing more than go to bed!!<\/p>\n
