First Ride in Canada 🇨🇦 | Testing Our Adventure Bikes Around Lake Country

After months of planning, packing, paperwork, and preparation, this was the moment we had been looking forward to: our first ride in Canada. With no luggage on the bikes and no schedule to follow, we took a relaxed test ride through the roads around Lake Country to get familiar with our motorcycles and settle into the rhythm of riding together on a new continent. Helene is riding a BMW R 1250 GS, while I am on a Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer. This ride wasn't about distance or destinations. It was about those first kilometers: getting comfortable with the bikes, adjusting to Canadian roads, and enjoying the feeling that the journey has finally begun. What started as a simple test ride became a reminder of why we chose this adventure in the first place. If you enjoy motorcycle travel, slow travel, and authentic stories from the road, consider following along as we make our way north through Canada and beyond.
