I'm relieved to have bypassed the section of Canada most notorious for cyclists' safety concerns, without feeling unsafe for a second. My chosen route from Kenora to Thunder Bay turned out to be an excellent one, and I was glad to meet another cross-Canada cyclist on it too! With a fresh chain and a good [...]
Four cycling days and two rest days after saying hello to Manitoba, it is already behind me. The Keystone Province flew by in a flash... And nearly the last thing I witnessed before leaving was a flash of lightning! Winnipeg was an appropriate spot to spend Canada Day, about halfway into my journey both in [...]
I've been treated with computer access in Winnipeg, so have added Strava screenshots to this post and the last one. On its 150th birthday, I am in Winnipeg, about 30km from this marvellous brown-painted chunk of metal marking the horizontal centre of Canada. If I constructed a sandwich over the past nine days, it [...]
Looking at the three cities on a map, one wouldn't expect I would take thirty eight days for Vancouver to Edmonton and seven for Edmonton to Saskatoon. I've reached province number three, and am finally consistently showing Eastbound progress! Before I departed Edmonton, University Friend Nils treated me to a frisbee golf clinic and a [...]
I finally completed and published my The Gear page! Find it on the top toolbar. Finishing the coveted Icefields Parkway produced yet another change in focus. No longer was I surrounded by magnificent mountains, entrancing half-icy lakes, and more hiking than hours in the day. It was a time to replenish my muscles, enjoy some great company, [...]
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 [...]
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: [...]
