Brad & Mary in Rimouski

We met Brad & Mary, two Utahians, while doing a two week tour of Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula. They had already been on the road for nearly two months, and were making their way across Canada to Alaska. Their trip began in Maine in early May, from there they went north and extensively toured Canada’s maritime region; including 3 weeks on unpaved roads through Labrador (good job!). The more difficult days included cold, rainy days full of headwind on dirt roads. However, good days have certainly outnumbered the tough days. They have had the opportunity to meet some great people and have had some interesting adventures – an invitation on a helicopter ride over Goose Bay, four bear sightings in one day, out for an evening trip on a sailboat along the St Lawrence – among many other great experiences.

We had the opportunity to hear more of their stories a little while after our meeting with them in Rimouski when they decided to be our Warm Showers guests and visit Montreal with us for a couple days.

You can follow along with Brad & Mary’s adventure by visiting their blog. Keep up with their story to find out if Brad meets his goal of getting a ticket for cycling without hands – apparently this is a ticket-able offence in Canada.
