It is -3 here in Red Deer and heading to +3 by Friday. If he catches the chinook winds they might blow him right through to Winipeg before it starts getting cold.
He might find Labrador a touch cooler. It was  cold in September when I was there.
As for me, I am also starting a ride next week on my F650 Dakar. My bike is sitting in Tucson and I am heading to Mexico, Belize & Guatemala until April.
Go ahead and post a link. It will be interesting to check on Paul's progress while sipping margaretias on the beach.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
