The Atlantis saw lots of river time aboard the Alpackaraft while I was in Arizona, but now that I'm back in BC on my home river, the Slocan, I had a chance today to take the Hunq for a paddle.

I rode up the valley along the river on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail for about 20km, set up the raft in the shade of some huge cedars, and the shoved off into the cool waters of the Slocan River.

My Hunq is slightly heavier than the Atlantis, but the raft didn't seem to mind. For several hours I drifted the river taking in the gorgeous scenery and birdsong. I'm looking forward to much more of this as the summer progresses.

John, 

That is awesome. Love the bike and that you thought to take your Hunq on an inflatable raft, just awesome.

Thanks Josh and Rich! Yes, it's a really great way to combine two loves and a wonderful way to spend time outside. I'm very fortunate up here in BC!

Cheers, John
