We freakin' made it!
I can't believe over 3 weeks have passed since I arrived in Labrador. It went by quick, but yet.. feels like Ive been here longer. I have so many stories I wish I could have told, but Im so busy having fun here. I started this post 10 days ago!! And never finished it. Recent News: - MY MOM IS GOING TO COMPETE AS PART OF TEAM CANADA AT THE 2010 ITU TRIATHALON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, in Budapest, Hungary next year!! Holy sweet mother of Joseph, I've never felt as proud of my mom as I do right now. I can't believe [View Full Entry]

The Labrador Highway is a living organism. Breathing, changing shape, conquering, evolving. Her skin is gravel, it moves, forms holes, washes out, needs to be continuously kept in line by graters and gravel trucks, or else, she would mutate certainly into the form she wants to be, The Labrador Wilderness. Lining the highway for over 1000 kilometers unbroken, the wild shrinks you, daunts you, manipulates you, does what it will with you. Gone are the comforts of medians, streetlights, painted lines and gravel. Nothing goes by this highway uneffected by it. We spent 2 solid days travelli [View Full Entry]

Im heading North. Away from the knowns of Victoria. Away from friends, away from an amazing Longboarded-experience in Ottawa. Away from an amazing team of people in Nova Scotia, who now mostly all call themselves Katimavik Project Leaders. Im heading North. Today, to Baie-Comeau, tomorrow to Labrador City, and Wednesday to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, my new home. And, Im incredibly excited. Im excited for the gifts I have to share with my particpants. Im excited for the friends I have and will make up there. Im excited for the wilderness, the streams, and the Sub-Arctic Atlantic O [View Full Entry]

This post has photos, but unfortunately they dont bring you up to date. So much bizzle has happened, with no posts.. so, it would take a wee while to write it all down. I made it to Victoria. Last day was 130+ kms from Hope through Langley to Tawassen. I received my first official puncture in 7000 km on this particular kind of tire, Schwalbe Marathon Plus's, right smack in the middle of Langley, during the hottest part of the day. It was tough. Since arriving to the open arms of my mom and eating her copious amounts of baked goods, [View Full Entry]

I'm FINALLY home! Woop!
Hey! Man, do I have stories to tell. Do I ever. Man! Jeeze! Here I am admist a bike trip, headed for now to Kelowna. Im meeting a friend here on the 10th (which is today, Ive met her) who Ive known for many years. She actually just spent a year in South America! But Ive had a nice journey getting here. It all started last Monday night. I rode 115km from Lake Louise to Golden, BC. In Golden, while shopping for a new front rack (my last one finally broke after years of abuse!), I bumped into a nice lady, [View Full Entry]

And horses are blue. This is me, signing off from a normal life for a while. Im just about to get a lift with a friend into the Rockies, into Banff. Fromthere, itll be 5 days all by my lonesome, on my bike, through the mountains, until I hit Kelowna. Im about to do something Ive wanted to do for most of my walking, talking life. And on a slightly less epic note, I bought way too much food. I can barely fit it on my bike. See you n the flip side, wih pictures! Ty [View Full Entry]

This bridge is over the North Sascatchewan river, a river we crossed many times. And thats me.
So here I am, the breaker of news. My plans changed, about biking around the world. For now. I have a job, instead. A guaranteed income, that will give me some savings. It starts Augest 16th. It starts in Halifax, NS. From arriving there, I travel 1 hour north to Truro, to do two weeks of training. Come the beginning of September, myself and 2 other staff will be driving 36 hours/1900km north from Truro to Goose Bay, Labrador, where I will be a Katimavik Project Leader, until next July. Holy crap. Holy crap. Im moving to Labrador. And I have [View Full Entry]

Our awesome host, Richard Kazlowski of Red Deer, did this in the snow for us one snowy morning!
Hi! Here are some kickass photos for you! Some of the photos were taken from a Viterra Grain Elevator, where we toured. Enough grain to fill 100 railcars (literally) comes through that facility every WEEK. Almost all of the products that come through this elevator go through a long, long journey, ending up in Asia. In Asia, its packaged and occasionally shipped back to us with the "Product of Canada" label stamped on it. Man, can you say, redundant travel? Malt Barley and Feed Barley are the only grains that came from that facility that are NOT shipped overseas. Othe cool [View Full Entry]
