Day #350 Other Cyclists on the TCT


http://www.planetranger.com/transcanada/

This is the only picture I've taken so far actually on the TCT,
except for PEI, of course.
This is just west of Tweed, ON.
Tim and Nick would have passed right by here, too.
If you're interested in viewing the 2003 journals of Tim and Nick who travelled from Victoria to St. John's on the Trans Canada Trail, 9,900+ kms., this is a very interesting web site. Can be accessed through TransCanadaTrail website.
At the time of their adventure, there was still a lot more work to be done on the trail and many miles unfinished and exceptionally rough.
There are still perhaps 4000 miles yet to be completed but, hopefully for me, much of that will be on the northern route.
They strongly suggest getting trail maps and guides from Canadian Geographic as the ones from the TCT group are not as detailed.
They tented. I may have a camper again by then.
Hopefully, I will find people who will move my camper forward for me daily, or folks who will drive me back to my camper at night.
My brother, Ron, has offered to stay with me throughout Alberta to drive that part; my daughter, Mary Esta, with parts of Ontario; also a friend, Des, has agreed to do some of Ontario; another daughter, Josie, with parts of N.S.; and a lady customer from Newfoundland said that many people there will help out just from the kindness that is ever present in the east coaster, and particularly the Newfoundlander, heart.
Happy Trails to You, and goodnight.
Karen

Hi Karen,

I could not help but notice you grew up in Summerside, my home. I would enjoy covering your story via Atlantic Pedaler.

If you would like to submit your stories / progress on the AP site, that would be great. I could create a new section just for you.

Feel free to email me at ken@summersidecycling.com if interested.
