5961 miles on the road this trip and here we are still on the West coast in Chilliwack, British Columbia, CA. A combination of miles, highway speeds of 75-80 MPH, and some extreme heat of air temps above 100 have tore into our rear tires. Wonder what temps the roads where. We could probably safely get another 1000 miles on them but we have a place here with all the tools and a man with the expertise to be able to use them.
We ordered and had our tires shipped to Eric and Mike. Fellow bike (KLR) riders just South of the Canadian border. We loaded the tires on to our bikes and crossed the border.
Norm was awesome! Having never physically met us just conversing through emails, blogs, and Facebook, he rolled our bikes into his garage and changed our tires.
I think Liz would like to be adopted by Norm.

We really enjoyed meeting and hanging with Norm and his family. Thanks to him and his wife April for their great hospitality. I hope we have the opportunity to repay them someday.
