I’m enjoying your adventure, actually I’m up to your segment in Quebec. I did this adventure self contained in 1995, so before really using the internet or google maps. Camped the whole way, 63 days, had exceptional weather with lots of tailwinds going West to East. Friendliest province NL. I had also just retired at 58 . I continue to bike and have done lots of EU trips. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your adventures
Thanks! I'm glad you are joining us to relive your adventure. I wish I could say we have had lots of tailwind but I think we are 50/50 (but many no-wind days). I'm happy to hear that you continue to bike... It truly is a great way to experience a country or area.
Can i share this video on my FB? Some people think we are crazy when we cross SK, from AB to MB. I may collect all the clips and photos we took during that trip, so we can share our stories. But it will not like this video that is well made. New follower of yours now Thanks, umbyk
Hi Umbyk! You can share our video on FB if you want. You aren't crazy! It's worth collecting and compiling your photos/videos. It's fun to relive the trip later. Safe riding!
I can really sympathize with your frustration at the lack of paved shoulders on Canadian roads for cyclists. There's an embarrassing lack of commitment to cycling infrastructure in this country.
We agree. The big cities have been good. The provinces' policies about shoulders varies wildly. Manitoba was the worst, though, without a doubt. So far, Ontario has been fabulous. Yesterday, we covered 150km all with some shoulder and most of it with a very wide shoulder. The road was in great shape, too.
Great Videos, enjoying your trek across our country. On our bucket list
Make it happen! Some lovely country and lots of friendly folks!
Fantastic ride and commentary - thanks for sharing!!
Thanks guys! We're on Day 41 today and still feel great! Tomorrow....Kakabeka Falls (outside Thunder Bay).

Owen!
you two are super speedsters. ☺
Welcome to Manitoba, our home province!
Thanks! Manitoba was great in many respects but shoulders wasn't one them. Friendly folks...the plates don't lie. :)
@@Shannon_Marco_Travel other than the Transcanada and #16 most shoulders do not exist and the roads are in need of major maintenance. Cheers.
Sorry, but I laughed out loud when that one cloud storm got you.
I haven't seen anyone cross railroad tracks at such an angle before, and live.
