Starting in August and planning on 50 days at ~145 km per day. I could skip Newfoundland at the end if there are lots of windy days or something else that slows me down.
I plan on mostly following the Trans-Canada Highway where it’s legal to ride. I’m used to riding highway shoulders in my neck of the woods. If there’s anything off of the highway that I shouldn’t miss, let me know.
If anyone is interested in joining, feel free to send me a message.

I don’t want to be pessimistic, but how much long-distance touring have you done? This is a very ambitious itinerary, especially 145 km a day. If you’re bringing any gear (and even if you’re not), that’s pretty extreme. Do you want to merely get across Canada, or do you want to *see* it?

Could I suggest The great northern bikepacking route? The Trans Canada highway can be pretty soul destroying and very dangerous. There was a couple that did it last summer on You tube – it looked amazing

Be careful riding close to the russia border.
