Calgary
It's been a very flat, very rainy, dreary ride, but we have finally made it to Calgary, AB! I can't contain my excitement, my face is glued to the window anticipating the first site of something other than grass that spans as far as the eye can see. Give me some mountains!
Wild Wild West
I'm officially addicted to BC!
Obsessed! I know every provincial park on our route between Whistler and Golden. I know the daily distance between stops, every grocery store, sights to see, and nearby bike shops - just in case!
I'm excited to hear from locals about what to see and do, but I have a list of things I MUST see during our bike across BC!

It's Happening!
Let the planning commence!
A couple months ago I jokingly said to my friend Hayden, "Yo! We should bike across Canada next summer!" His reply? "HECK YES!"
Who are we?
Just two relatively normal gingers living in Kitchener, ON where I was born and raised - Hayden's been back and forth between here and Mississauga. We met working together at a local tech startup ("the thing" to do in this town) and despite neither of us working for the company have managed to remain AWESOME friends!
We both found a love for cycling this summer as we toured, explored and got lost on adventures around the area.
Our soul finding cycle from coast to coast is slated to begin in June 2014 in Whistler, BC!
Stay tuned as we continue to unfold the details of our EPIC Canadian Adventure!
