It’s now time to leave PEI. After yesterday’s ride, I’ve decided to take the bridge of the island for two reasons: Firstly, it’s closer, so I have to ride less in PEI and secondly, the road there looks part [...]

I need a road to ride. Everyone else seem to want to visit Green Gables so I’m going exploring instead.
From mapquest and the fact I only really fancy a couple of hours on the bike, the best option looks [...]

We headed up the coast to a little last night to a little town that doesn’t actually appear on my map. It had a pretty decent fish and chip store and some of the best clams I’ve had. [...]

After a two day break, I’m starting to feel stiff. The Daytona is not the roomiest bike available. It’s ergonomics are set up to be ridden fast, not far and it’s beginning to tell in my [...]

it’s been a few days since I started, having done just shy of 1100KM since starting out six days ago. Not a huge amount, but it’s managed to improve day on day. The weather still seems to be [...]

After a good nights rest, the weather is once again good. A steady 20 degrees celcius and there’s few clouds with, again, no chance of rain. In other words, it’s a perfect riding day again.

Today was better, but it didn’t seem that way at first. Checking my gear, my GPS was still not right. The entire screen was covered in condensation but at least it turned on, at least after [...]

It’s time to leave Halifax and begin the tour. The Radisson hotel was good, offering a small semi-private compound to park the bike in. They called it secure, but to me that suggests at least a [...]
