A simple idea, bike across Canada, taking as much time as we need. We will start sometimes towards the end of april, from Boston to Québec. Then follow the Saint-Laurent upstream to Lake Ontario.
From Toronto, we will cycle to Tobermory, take a ferry to South Baymouth and reach Sault Ste Marie. Back to the United States, we will cycle around the south shore of Lake Superior to Duluth and follow an oblique stretch to get to Winnipeg.
From Winnipeg to Lethbridge, we will either face strong winds or cycle with a little help of it. In Lethbridge we will decide which route to take.
