I'm leaving Halifax tomorrow. I'll be riding my bike 2000km over the next 27 days to North Bay, ON. Im worried about the smoke from forest fires but otherwise excited and prepared. Here's the rough itinerarie. New Brunswick is by far the least inhabited portion of the route, theres a few sections in central N.B. with 0 people per square km! I'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck! Try to keep as much weight as you can out of those panniers so you don’t break a spoke.
The fram bag combined with your water bottle is such an satisfying fit haha
Have you straddled your crossbar and then tried to get off with the bag on top of the crossbar? Your seat height suggests that you’re tall, but getting on/off could be a problem. I find that as I get more tired on a trip, it becomes more difficult to get my leg up and over just the crossbar, making it something that I try to avoid as much as possible. Leg over the back mount/dismount is not possible because of the panniers.
Enjoy your trip.
