So, this is me biking across the country

Hopefully I'll have computer access often enough to post updates...I'm biking across Canada this summer. Leaving Vancouver June 28th, arrive in St. John's NFLD on Labour Day weekend.

Photos and stuff will be posted here (photos probably also on facebook), and I'd love to hear your encouragements and such via email or facebook.

Heat warning issued in Ottawa 

Yeah, its really hot here.  Yesterday, Graham and I were in Tims cooling off and the sweat had evaporated on our arms and such, leaving visible salt.  The city of Ottawa recommends:

  • drinking lots of fluids (check)
  • getting access to air conditioning at least 2 hours per day (see previous post about air conditioned tents…)
  • wearing light colored clothing (i have white socks I guess…)

someone said something about how it’d be a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise too, but we’re not gonna follow that anyways, so what’s the point in paying attention.
