Wow! Is all I can say. So far, it still hasn't completely sunk in what I'm up to. Said a sad goodbye to some of my family and my girlfriend last night and today. It was hard to leave, but I knew that what I was doing will be good in the long run, so I shut off my mind and just pedalled.
The cycling is tough with all the weight; I guess like 60+ lbs, but I'm sure I'll get used to it - or die trying... But man, when I took off the bags to get groceries earlier, I was flying! Scotia Pine Campground is alright, but pricey at $30 + for an unserviced site. And then they have the nerve to make you pay for a shower too! For shame.
Things are going well so far though. Met another cyclist, a man from Dartmouth named Bill. He's super laid back and kind of reminds me of a hippie Santa. There are also two other cyclists in the campground, but I haven't talked to them. Oh, on the way here I stopped at Shubenacadie wildlife park. Got some great photos, but I don't have a way to upload anything for the time being...Hopefully soon.

A crazy idea became a spontaneous adventure when I decided to pedal a bicycle to Calgary, Alb. from Halifax, NS in the summer of 2011. Inside you will find stories, pictures, routes and the equipment I used for this journey.
