Regarding sea cider, champagne and lemonade

Today I mark as the beginning of my trip across Canada. After many weeks of gear purchases and talking about routes over beer I am now sitting on the ferry with Jen Murdoch.

Last night was first a relaxing evening at Clives, followed by a frantic packing party.

This morning I got out to Mile 0 to find a large crowd of friends to see me off. It was glorious, very much encouraging and a fantastic way to begin. After some champagne and a short speech (hehe) I led a pack of cyclists who were joining for part of the ride to the ferry.

That is all for now.

  1. You’ve got great friends! I wish so so much good things for you – blessings, safety, optimism, quiet moments, exhilaration, the right amount of exhaustion, etc.

    I’ll be a faithful follower. Wish I could join you too… speaking of, can I skype with you while your riding?

    God bless.

  2. I was glad to be part of your send off. I will be following the blog. Hopefully it will inspire more people to adventure. Looking forward to epic stories.
