Any road suggestions for someone missing riding the BC roads?? Lol I should add the ontario landscapes and sightseeing just don't look the same right now.

This thread is making me miss the mountains and adventures!! ? welcome back to our home crew!! And enjoy your trip/adventures to our outbound crews!!

Just saw 3 Bowflex benches at Canadian Tire on Eglinton/Laird, website said $200 Plus they had 2 flat benches for $100. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/bowflex-3-1-adjustable-workout-bench-0847998p.html Might go back with car to pick up the Bowflex one.

Last info i got from CBI, was that they can forward parcels at a cost. Something like postage from them + regular parcel fee + $10 handling fee. But they are losing out financially and stuck with many parcels.

All stores inflated their prices for the demand it seems. Standard now is $2/lb at minimum? Hopefully gyms push prices back down but I wouldn’t count on it yet.

I prefer the flat benches at gym but can see some benefit to buying an adjustable for home. I’m still kicking myself for not buying the adjustable bench at CT for $100 right before the Covid shutdown. Mostly on hunt from dumbbells. Would be thrilled to own a bar and plates (go to gym mostly for...

I’m back to GoodLife as of this week as well. But I’m seeing the benefits of having some equipment at home as GoodLife moved towards appointment style and it’s not drop in at convenience anymore.

Anyone manage to find some weights, bench in store recently?? I have some dumbbells purchased right before covid but would like to buy more, even though prices have skyrocketed.

Ah the motorcycle adventure days. Glad to hear you got back on track.

I had this stuck in my head while riding. So true though ?

Oops i should change my post to stage 3. Agreed. They actually moved faster in stages in western Canada and are way more relaxed about it. I went by don't drop distance standards and wear mask indoors.

Just to add, yes travel in general can be a very social activity for majority of people. But there's some of us who are lone wolves (i hope more than me at least) bikers that it's more of a bike hobby so it's not same as going to Cancun with your family. If that makes any sense. So for most...

I think you're right in a sense that's an interesting discussion we can have here. But like I said, I don't think there's anything morally wrong with a solo motorcycle trips. You're not creating more exposure than by living your daily life, unless you work from home and never leave the house...

A group of about 10 bikes just passed on way to L&L meet. The irony of everything around.

The way i see it, anytime stepping outside the house is a risk. If I didn't go on vacation, I could've stayed in TO, gone more grocery shopping, supply shopping, beaches/parks etc and would've came into contact with a lot of people staying local. Riding a bike solo for 10 hours a day doesn't...

agreed. This year it is what it is, back in 2015 flew same bike to Vancouver, cause only 1 week vacation, (and rode back through US ) and it was good experience. Not sure I would want to do a ride both ways via Canada again.

Not OP but just came back from similar trip. Motels/hotels have staff wearing masks plus big chains have plexi glass installed in counters. Pools are closed. Breakfast is usually prepackaged. I had some lysol wipes I didn't use much. But hand sanitizer I used a lot, especially being out and...

While waiting at Starbucks; favourite roads in BC were obviously 99 and 6 between the ferry (23) and Vernon. I tried the 8 as per suggestion and it was ok but wouldn't do a special trip for it again. Was taking 3/95 back yesterday to Alberta. Avoid taking 1 to Vancouver, just boring. Most...

I got to say this Manitoba covid thing puts a damper if you're not an early morning person. I'm coming back and can only reach eastern border of Saskatchewan today, about 800km, otherwise have to do 1490km day and worried about gas stations open late in those areas. (Also timezones change) Would...

Today did 4 on the island to Tofino. Not bad, more wavy and only sharp turns 60-40km away from Tofino. The whole road is about 200km from Nanaimo. But lots of cars, especially ones who think they can go fast in straight line. Also its $45 each way by ferry, which is sort of expensive to just...
