Mike: I've done Calgary to Vancouver and Calgary to Regina. It was supposed
to be Calgary to Montreal, but I bailed in Regina after spending a few days
on the TransCanada in Saskatchewan. Canada is huge, huge country. The
prairies will be the test. The final straw for me was the 44 miles into
Regina. Dead flat. No trees, water or structures. There was a single
railway overpass to break up hours of hot, monotonous riding. By the time I
got into the great metopolis of Regina I figured there was a better way to
spend my vacation time and savings. And this was riding with two pals.
I have neither driven through Northern Ontario or ridden. This will be a
major challenge as well. Hundreds of miles of just rocks and trees.
Save your sanity and a lot of suffering. Fly to Europe and ride across
Spain, as one of my work collegues just did. He had a great time.
