So today I thought I’d show you guys what it’s like to bike down some of these hills I’ve been biking.

This marks the spot of where all water runs down to the Atlantic from here in Northern Ontario. (All downhill theoretically, but I can tell you since I’m retroactively blogging that it definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely isn’t!!)

So today I biked through a tornado stricken community and I learned that bees and horseflies are attracted to large yellow trailers and will pursue them up to speeds of 40km per hour.

Today I was in great spirits and, as I stood on the bike pedals for a little stretch and, perhaps victory perch, I felt something I had never felt before, my front wheel popping. After being stranded for a little bit on the road a kind woman stopped who had already seen me and brought […]

I was fortunate again today as, out of something unfortunate, something great happened. First, I must say.. that I am now HALF WAY!!!!! Second, check out some awesome Geese: Third, here’s the story of the day: So, yeah, as I was saying, out of something unfortunate, came some awesome. I blew a tube and, successfully […]

So today I understood how much it can suck to have the wind directly aimed at you all day. The speedometer, which, if you remember, broke in Borden, could not tell me my exact speed but, I figured, I was going about half the speed I normally bike at because of the wind. Today marked […]

So, either I’m psychic or I’m writing this blog a little delayed but this was the only day of the prairie biking where I had the wind at my back (which was unfortunate as I chose to go west to east to use the trade-winds to my advantage)! Today was filled with easy biking and […]

Today I realized that this trip is one of the best times of my life because, as there are some parts of the day that do rate high on the suckage meter, it only makes the parts that are good that much more awesome; I really, really enjoy the little things like a good shower […]

Today I finally unpacked the eagerly awaiting iPod from my bag and began listening to music and boy did I ever listen to music! You Left Saving The Planet definitely worth checking out if you’re an Arcade Fire fan as the guy is a one-man-fire-in-a-place-of-videogames; quite enjoyable. Big Eye: Little Eye by The Golden Dogs […]
