Welcome. This is the website for my current adventure: traveling the 4700 KM across Canada from Victoria to Ottawa on one wheel. The goal of the trip is to raise awareness and money for Invisible Children.
Invisible Children is an organization dedicated to ending the longest running war in Africa. Their main objective is to free the child soldiers who make up over 90% of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).

The coolest thing about reaching North Bay was that the signs started showing distances to Ottawa! That really made it feel close to home.
There were quite a few of these signs after Sault Ste. Marie. I actually did see one too, a father and daughter bringing a whole trailer of flowers into town pulled by a horse. Cool.
Riding around lake Superior one of the things I noticed was that every single small bend in the road was preceded by a sign, illustrating that bend. It seems excessive until a morning like this one where the fog seriously restricts visibility. I had a few mornings of fog, but on this one the fog hung around until well after noon in some areas so I had to ride through it.
After leaving Thunder bay I took some time and stopped at the Terry Fox Memorial. It's quite an impressive piece of work, commemorating an unbelievably impressive feat by Terry. It was humbling.
Lake Superior is a beautiful lake. The day I left was bright, sunny, and had a great breeze for sailing. Here you can see the lake with some people sailing, and the Sleeping Giant dozing in the background.
Ice cream is an awesome thing to end a day of riding with, especially when it's with hosts as awesome as the ones I had in Wawa Ontario!
Ran into these two bicyclists riding west a few days ago. There were really cool, and impressed by my chocolate-milk-drinking-while-riding.
Some other cross-country-traveling people I've met on this trip include loads of people driving, and quite a few cyclists.
A few include:
Chris Young is riding west for the Heart and Stroke foundation.
The other day a guy called Geoff Stopped to see what I was up to. Though not on the trek at the moment, he's paddling with his wife and dog in a canoe from west to east! It's a project they've been on for several years, very impressive.
