Tales from the Road
So where were we last time we spoke? Oh yeah: Antoine was benched because of its shoulder injury and Isabelle was getting pretty darn good at riding her “local” Squamish/Whistler trails…
Annnnnnd it continues this month, except when you’re in mountain biking paradise, friends come to visit you (and also take the opportunity to ride…) 🙂
Nath easily clearing EVERYTHING on Rupert, Squamish.
Lower, longer and slacker butt. Meadow of the Grizzly, Squamish.
We’re about to celebrate our first “vanniversary” and while we’re having the time of our life, family is constantly on our mind. We were super excited that Antoine’s dad and nephew came spend 10 day with us!

Introducing my nephew to mountain biking! I wish my first ride was in Whistler too…
After 5 months spent in Squamish/Whistler/Pemberton, there’s no doubt about it: we’re in love with that place. But for now we have a home on wheels, so it’s time to take advantage of that and drive to Oregon to meet friends from back home:

Improvising a work stand for bleeding the XT…
When in Bend:
Sorry people, it’s been claimed already!

ABOUT US
Hello! We’re Isabelle and Antoine 🙂 In 2017 we sold our house (and everything in it), quit our engineering careers and moved into our self built campervan. We’ve been on the road since then and every day is an opportunity for a new adventure; we’re chasing our dreams and hopefully it inspires others to do the same!
