Only 12 days left before taking the plane to Vancouver.
This week the whole group had pre-departure get together to get the last details settled down. I was glad to get my plane ticket. We're flying direct Montreal-Vancouver which is tremendously good because of the special equipment we carry (the bike). I think everyone in the group is very eager to start the trip. Like me, everyone has been talking about it for so long that we're all tired of waiting.
I was a little disappointed not to get the detail route booklet (which is going to be a "binder" from what i understand). But it's for a good reason, Velo Quebec is reviewing the whole path to make sure it's up to date and free of obstacle.
I've already done a couple of organized trips with Velo Quebec, and it's always the same feeling; it's not cheap but now that it's paid all i have to do is pedal, the organization is going to take care of the rest!
I should have no problem putting the last few kilometers (135 to be exact) to bring me to the target of 1500Km before the start of the trip.

For those of you who hasn't looked at the map i've done for Google Earth, you can get it here. You need Google Earth to view.

Internet connection along the way is surprisingly good. I should have no problem uploading picture and updating this blog. Video seems out of the question, being a little to heavy to share. But i'll definitely try monster panoramic pictures (stitch of a dozen pictures of the same scene).
