We are exactly 3-days from departure. Our group consists of 5 couples and one solo rider riding 5 BMW R1250GS Adventures and one BMW R1100RT. This week is the week when gear is checked and tested; routes, maps, and hotels are checked and finalized; passports and insurance is confirmed, and the good old ritual of deciding whether something will be needed or not.
Knowing that Pam will be with me is exciting but it will require a bit of extra planning and preparation to make sure it all goes smoothly. So, rain gear - check, heated gear (?) - check, comfortable suit, gloves and helmet for her - check, intercom setup working - check, all tools for any contingency - check, etc. It is always a nice treat when I get to share trips like this with her. She is an amazing and fearless passenger, a joy to travel with, and a great traveler when things are not going according to plan and we just need to go with the flow and make it up as we go.
Our route is a combined point to point to point ongoing travel for the first half followed by daily trips to the most amazing sights Norway has to offer from a fixed location in Alesund ... so, no packing and unpacking during those days!
