Pocket Tire Plug, Tubeless Tire Repair Kit

We also carry the Pocket Tire Plug to patch Tubeless tires on the road. These tire plugs come with a few tools and will allow you to limp to the next bike shop for a new tire.

They are easily stowed with a mini-foot pump or other small tire inflation equipment under your bikes seat and wont get in your way that way.

We extremely enjoy this set overall, however it does not come with anything to cut the excess length of the plug off once inserted.
For that you will need to carry a knife or a side cutter that can trim back the plug. If you want to make it especially smooth before taking of again a little piece of sandpaper to even off the stump would come in handy. But don't do that until you have inflated the tire enough to hold the plug in place.

What we like about this is that it gives us the confidence that we can patch a tubeless tire on the road and get to the next shop for a new tire instead of having to call a tow which may take a while depending on where you are on the road.

The Plastic baggy contain the plugs.

Here you see it with the pouch for the tools and plugs.

Canon Rebel T1i

We use two cameras right now the Canon Rebel T1i which is a great DLR. We use this camera primarily for pictures where space is not an issue. So when we travel with bikes only we do not take it with us as it is on the bulky side with spare lens, charger, etc.
We have two lenses with this camera right now and none of them have dissappointed us yet one is of course the one the camera comes with and the other one is a Canon Zoom Lens 70-300mm 1:4-5.6.




However when you want a versatile camera for great pictures and you are taking a car or have no problem with space for what ever reason this camera is perfect.

It does not have the learning curve of most higher end cameras while letting you choose how much control you want to take over each picture. This camera can by doing that consistantly provide great high quality pictures that you will want to show to your friends.
As far as weight is concerned the camera can comfortably be handled with one hand and does not by any means feel heavy. It is also fairly compact which makes it convenient to use. 


We enjoy both this camera quick and easy handling as well as the accurate and good quality shots that it achieves. We use Kingston Memory cards of 16GB and 4GB seizes. The 16GB will hold 2274 Pictures on average. The Pictures do of course vary in seize depending on the amount of data to be captured.
We also use a very useful Carry Bag for it from Black's photography.

French Beach Park

This Park is also along the Port Renfrew trip however here is what makes this park stand out. The parking lot is nicely paved and there are plenty of toilets with paved paths. As well as several benches and a little child playground. As well as being a very nice beach. The parking lot is not only paved and but also very close to the beach making it a very convenient lunch spot since even if you are tired you can simply plop on a bench or drift wood and have a nice lunch with a good view.

China Beach Provincial Park

The China Beach Provincial Park is on the coast of Vancouver Island on the way to Port Renfrew. This park has a bit of a hike but is definitely worth it not only because of the forest in the park but also due to the beauty of the beach this park fairly popular and of course has toilets. The parking lots are however gravel which you would like to pay attention to. This park is also attended by the park watchers which have some water bottles and watch the vehicles in the lot to prevent theft. They are not always there though.
This park can also be found along the Langford to Port Renfrew Trip.
