I'm very impressed by your progress through the very frigid weather. I've been enjoying following your jouney. If you plan to pass through Toronto I can offer a place to stay. Cheers from a fellow cyclist.
Hi Rune,
It's amazing what you're doing. And the videos are excellent.
I know Toronto might be a long way off at this point, but I just want to let you know we'll have food and beer here waiting for you (if you head this way!).
Rune...
Saw you last night on the way in to Winnipeg ... Man, it was nasty coming into St Francis Xavier ... but there you were pedalling away. You rock buddy !! Safe travels - and stay warm now that the weather has gotten warmer !!

Hey Rune,
Nice video of the train. I remember from my own bike across Canada that the train conductors always blew their horn to me as well - and if they were close enough they would be waving out the window as well. And congrats on making it to Winnipeg - half way!
