Well, what can I say, it's been an interesting (and very expensive) 60 days. I just wanted to thank the thousands of followers who gave me all the mental support needed to get across Canada from coast to coast. OK, maybe less than a thousand. OK, less than 11. Anyway, I will spend a little time going back to previous posts and fixing some of the spelling errors ( yes I suck at spelling, writing too) And adding wordage (I just invented that word). Also, I will input more photos. I have many photos to choose from.
I found it very difficult to marry Cycling and Blogging but in hindsight, I'm glad that I took the time. I learned a lot and will hopefully apply this knowledge to future trips.
