Warning: This post contains an absurd amount of photos due to stunning scenery. I took about 400 photos in this time, and cut down to about 140 for this post. Didn't want to leave anything out! I'm struggling to find words for what I have witnessed over the past week. It's been an unbelievable whirl [...]
Note 1: I properly added photos now from Waterton etc to the post before this, including some classic Waterton views! Note 2: I can caption photos properly now! Note 3: I uploaded all rides from my Garmin (at least I think it worked properly...) so Strava followers can check them out. If you haven't yet [...]
Apologies that some photos might not turn out well or at all, the WordPress app and/or wifi are a bit moody today. Will fix later if possible! Much flip-flopping and planning in Cranbrook led me East rather than North. This post was composed from within the boundaries of my first national park. Not Banff, but [...]
These three days were the first stretch where I lived for the company of the people I was staying with, rather than my own adventure and the sights and sounds of nature. May 16th brought the pleasant surprise of meeting my Greenwood warmshowers host Ciel on the trail past Grand Forks and sharing lunch together. [...]
Two weeks ago if you told me I would first shine my bike lights at 1pm on a bright sunny day, use my bike as a snow plow for 2km straight, and find my first Warmshowers host not through the Warmshowers website or app, I'd never believe you. All of the above are true. A [...]
The past three days contained much more pedalling than pushing. Good thing, I was about to rename my blog to "Cameron Pushes His Bike Across Canada"! From the Britton Creek Rest Area after a couple nights camping on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, I found my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: [...]
Hate to disappoint anyone who expected me to be in Penticton or beyond by now, but I am just 61km from Hope up the Coq as of May 8th overnight. Let me explain: Snow. Lots of it. PS: I started a "By The Numbers" page you can find on the top header panel. Hope this [...]
First milestone complete! I told many I must make it at least to Hope, and we'll see how far I get after that. So I can turn back any time now, hmm... May 4th was a slow start of what I expect will be a long string of camping nights. While packing my bike to [...]
May 3rd 2017 is forever engrained in my mind as my oh-so-appropriate "Goodbye Vancouver" day. Comfortable temperature, but very cloudy and rainy. Good news is I had a relatively short day planned, and a warm shower at dad's house to look forward to. More good news is I invested in quality rain gear (kudos to [...]
No camping this weekend, but I tied in a bunch of cycling with a final visit to the Johnston clan. My first time taking my bike on the ferry - just $2, a bit cheaper than a car! Saturday lunch with Uncle Neil, Sister Emma, and Grandma. Later a tour of Cousin Cole and Jo's [...]
