Final Blog Entry

We finally finished what we set out to do: that is cycle from Vancouver Airport to Ottawa and blog about our adventure. 

Today we finalized the remainder of our blog entries. We updated the following pages:

a. Equipment list
b. Fun statistics
c. Food

We can now get on with the planning and preparation for our next two trips. For 2016, we had hoped to cycle to St-John's, Nfld, but due to unexpected circumstances, we must delay our trip by 1 year. As we have done in the past this East Coast trip will serve as a full dress rehearsal for the trip we are now planning for the summer of 2018. 

In 2018, we will fly to Deadhorse, Alaska and pedal as far SOUTH as we can in a two month period. We expect to make it at least to Vancouver or Calgary (we have not firmed up the route yet). The particular challenge on this trip is the lack of support between Deadhorse and Fairbanks, Alaska. We will have to be self sufficient for 800 kms. The 200 km of near nothingness between Wawa and Sault Ste-Marie now looks like a Sunday afternoon ride on the multi-use pathways in Ottawa. 

We hope you enjoyed our blog and for the cyclist reading this we hope it is useful.

Video Quality Upgraded

The post ride Blog editing has started and should last for a while.

Helene has been busy working on our videos. They are now of better quality and have a bigger viewing window. We have also compiled all of the videos on one page so you don't have to go through every page of the blog again. So for those of you who where concerned about withdrawal, well you still have something to take care of that problem.

You can access them on the Videos page via the Blog Index or via this link http://hd-canadabybike.blogspot.ca/p/videos.html.

We are still busy updating our Fun Statistic, Food post and Equipment Failures and Success.

Just check the blog every week or so and updates we will inform you of what has been updated.

We are now amusing ourselves with our road bikes since we had signed up for an event a 160 km ride in August in order to have something to focus on upon our return. 

Not nearly as much fun as loaded touring bike but a lot faster!

We are back!

We miss pedaling and life on the road. We chatted with a couple of ladies from Montréal and we wished we were still on the road.
