I woke up in the morning like this in Port Hardy.
So far, I've biked this distance in November.
My goal is to to bike Canada from West (Prince Rupert) to East (New Foundland) in the winter time and mostly on Highways 16 and 1.

Hi Rune,
Here is a copy of your radio interview with Conrad Schmidt of the Work Less Party in Vancouver, BC. For others who are reading this message, Conrad's radio show is called "Pedal Revolutionary", which he hosts every two weeks at CITR Radio in Vancouver. www.worklessparty.org/junk/temp.wav. If this link does not work any more, contact Conrad at coordinator@worklessparty.org for more information. Congratulations on such a GREAT interview, and have a great trip across Canada. It was a pleasure meeting you!Cheers! Jean
Good to meet you as you passed through Bellingham, WA. a while back.
I forgot to say that there is a place called Norway Hall right behind the house I rent a room at. Have never been inside that place, but hear that an organization called "Sons Of Norway" has pancake feeds there. They fly the Norwegian flag.
Hope there is enough room on the side of snowy roads for you to cycle. I bike tour in summer months, but haven't tried it in winter, except here around the county, basically with-in 40 miles. I have never owned a car.
One time I crossed one of our mountain passes in the winter on a Greyhound Bus. Noticed the snow was piled high on road sides like being in a tunnel.
On my bike, I avoid tunnels.
Hope there is enough room on the side for you.
From the comfort of the heated bus, I saw huge snow ploughs with things on the front that looked like massive fans. The fan / auger devices ground up the snow and blew it way up over the snowbank on the side. It was impressive to watch. Big diesel ploughs that looked like railroad locomotives.
I have crossed USA two different years by bike, but it was in summer. Gone on some sort of trip every summer for the past 22 years. Travel around town and county, by bike the rest of the year.
This past week, however, the snow does stop me from biking. I walk, or take the bus when the streets are covered with ice. There are some cyclists still out there, but one could call me a "fair weather cyclist."
