Good info, but will pass on the chips and ice cream. I think that by the end of your ride you will have gained ten pounds!

yes, and you will notice that a car approaching a bicycle from behind will put their left blinker on to alert the oncoming cars that he needs to give the bicycle room, so they all move over a bit on the road...something I wish drivers here would pick up on. I always crowd the shoulder when I...

Ha, funny. and yes other bikers will do it to you if you let them pass. its a habit we should adopt here so cars won't hate us so much. I always nod or wave if they let me go ahead too.

Starting in the GTA (when the weather is a bit better). Would be interested in hooking up for this ride. Pretty deserted territory up there and no cell coverage = safer to do it with a mate or two. Thoughts from anyone who has done it? thanks.

Am planning a trip West near the end of June from Toronto to at least Calgary. Good Motorcycle route info would be much appreciated. If someone were interested in joining for the ride that is also possible (I will be camping for a lot of it - KOA's mostly). - thanks in advance.
