Day 8 was...interesting.
We figured out where to take John's bike, which was a dealer in Fort St John. Unfortunately, the tires were either in Edmonton or in Beaver Lodge, AB.
We got his bike onto a flatbed (thank you, CAA) on it's way to Fort St John, BC. I went in the other direction to pick up tires in Beaver Lodge, as there was no way to get the tires from Edmonton to Fort St John in time. One company we called wanted $2,000.00 dollars to dispatch a driver...
So we all ended up together in Fort St John at about 5pm, with the tires.
Almost 500km of riding for me, with only a little forward progress, but we managed to get a friend sorted out and on his way. Well worth it. In fact, there wasn't really any other possible outcome.
At the end of a long day, we had a good meal at Buckinghorse River Park.
