Challenge #1 when bicycle touring: You are too busy biking, eating, sleeping, or otherwise living freely to hunker down and write on your blog. And so, five days after my departure from Montreal, I am writing my first entry ‘from the road’. First up, I finally trek out of Montreal into the unknown of rural Quebec.
My tour begins a la belle province. I’m having trouble leaving this city both because I love it and because I still have lots to do to prepare! The past several days have been spent in bike shops, rolling around the many bike lanes, and enjoying good conversation with folks who share my vision for a better world.
After much ado, I finally did it. I rolled on out of this city and started the bike tour. Today was more of two short bike rides and a 5 hour train ride to Montreal. Wow, It’s hard to believe that I’ve actually up and left. No where to go from here but on an adventure!
