A very enjoyable episode, great job! It's always a hard decision to make when encountering those trail/road closed signs. Often it's possible to squeeze your bike past whatever the obstacle is, but there are certainly times when you are forced to backtrack and take the detour. Looking forward to Episode 3!

What a beautiful start to the journey ahead!!! I was wondering if you could give some info on your bike mirror. I would like to try bar end shifters but, for me, I don't want to go w/out a rear view mirror. Mine attached to the bar end. The one you are using seems like a good alternative. Thanks. I am looking forward to seeing more of your upcoming adventures. Safe travels. ✌🏼, Rob

Sure. The little bike mirror I have is the M-Wave Spy Mini II mirror amzn.to/3a4Pyos (affiliate link). It articulates and its perfect for me. I've dropped my bike multiple times on this trip and the mirror just keeps going. It's quite small, but exactly what I need.

My bags weigh about 35 KG (as per the weight at the airport), and the bike is about 13 KG. So it's a considerable weight. Also depends on how much food I have, and how much water I'm carrying. Bike gets lighter at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for that second episode. Can’t wait for the next one. You are doing the journey I intend to do in 2024 to initiate my retirement so I’m very interested by your adventure. When you’ll be crossing the province of Québec, if you plan to travel on the 138 on the north shore of the St-Laurence river, my wife and I would be glad to host you. We’re living in Trois-Rivieres right between Montreal and Quebec City. Be safe and enjoy your journey.

Now I definitely am going to have to see those trestles in person. Yea Sahar! I have had washouts or fallen trees where it is definitely "Well, I am NOT going back!". It is trickier with fully laden touring bikes! Great that you just broke it down into pieces. Thanks about the criter foiling strategy! I am learning so much! Also highlighting improvisation and adaptation! That is how you keep rolling. Love the Warm Showers examples too! Roll On!!
