Wow I lived in Ithaca for 8 yrs. Good place to learn that sort of driving! On the other hand it's harder to get on the road with people of unknown skills (except you know they didn't learn there, mostly)

Thanks! My wife also gave me the go ahead to start riding with her work group. Which is a very big step for her.
I'm boating between protection Island, in the Nanaimo harbor, and Nanaimo proper. I was going to get a pair of Xtratuffs but they don't l have many in Canada. My Alaskan friend swears by them and calls them his Alaskan slippers. So I went with Viking.
I've been having a hard time getting pictures to load on the site. I'll keep trying. This link is what I can do.

It's always the other people that worry me on the road, especially out here.
