- Halifax Trip - Day 1
Today I played it unsafe and arrived at the airport the recommended 90 minutes before take-off. Typically I arrive at least two hours early, but forces were against me and, in the end I would concede to their will. Posted by ka'la in A Spin Around .... | Sep 4, 2009
- Day 3
full report later, just getting in. finally have a hotel with internet access.
329 miles today.
today was not the best of days, Trans Canada 1 is long boring major freeway, only two lanes and you can't pass very well. Posted by martys in 2009 BC Rockies and NE Washington | Sep 3, 2009

Day 2
Today was a great riding day, 365 miles but it felt like less, a very comfortable ride length.
We left the very forgettable Luna B&B after a traditional Romanian breakfast of eggs and boiled chicken.

Following highway 17 I experienced what hills are. This was the hardest day so far, hill after hill after hill the whole way. But the scenery was beautiful, the real moose country.

After saying goodbye to Greg and Mary Kay I headed for Pembroke. Here I had a nice muffin and coffee breakfast. After this refuel I got on to the highway 17 towards Petawawa, here is a big army base.

Only 3 weeks til we go and almost every day someone asks us..."are you excited?".

Saturday was just rainy, from morning to night, just rain. I spend some time in the mall, buying a new camera. The visit to the market with a lot of fresh produce, mostly from Quebec was very nice.

So, we in fact didn't drive to Ucluelet, because our hitch-hike drivers were headed to Tofino, and we were just happy to get to a town.
Anyways, Tofino is an awesome little town. Especially since we're not paying anything for our Posted by Shirker in A Shirker's Trip Through Canada | Aug 29, 2009
