Please pardon my lengthy absents, after Cj and I were burgled my online commitment has faded to checking emails on my phone and text messaging. I've been thinking about this bike trip and been feeling I need to get planning it with you. Late August would be great for me too, I think Ceej might be planning to head to Cuba around then as well. I haven't studied much of the trail so far, but much of what envision is riding, camping, seafood, ocean, surfing, and the occasional bottle of screech. How each of those things gets down is still very much in the open. In my vision I see campfires on the occasional beach, and setting up a tent where & when we see fit. I know the terrain isn't quite mountainous, but from what I remember it's fairly .....(Upy downy).
Late in the summer I hope the ocean is warmer, I seem to recall someone saying that region is cold because of arctic ocean currents, but maybe they're wackers.
N to S Alberta would be a fun ride, I miss the prairies in the summer. I have an album of panoramic views resting in the frames of cross canadian trips. Long stretches of unbending highway, bright yellow canola fields, dilapidated homesteads. Nova Scotia has some charm though, you'll see.
