The adventure begins. An idea first suggested in our time in England in the rain, now researched, and underway. We'll go at our own pace, see what we want along the way, and will go as far as we want, or all the way. What better way to see it, especially with the existence of the Trans Canada Trail. So this page will have pre trip information, and then stories and photos from along the way. Its not far.... really...

The famous Apple Pie lady serves up warmth and food next to a beautiful lake in an old log cabin.

Thats Tim in the middle, and you better appreciate the photo, cause it took a lot of effort to get!

Another trestle to cross. Until 2 years ago, they had no deck or handrails, now that would have been better!

Not a Squirrel, a chipmunk, and a brave one at that. On my shoe, on the table, trying to steal food.

A crazy nice old guy who built this fake train car, with a kitchen and beds for cyclists to sleep in, and always has fresh water. People sign his wooden shelter, we saw one from Bellingen and Coffs Harbour, and one from Albury!

The float down the river!

A day off, top Aussie Steve who moved to Midway 30 years ago drove us up the river and dumped us in Canoes to float effortlessly for hours back to camp - all for 5 bucks each. Top Aussie! Its easier than riding!

...and da da da... the bear photo! This is bear #2 checking us out, sniffing the air. We just rode past him and stopped (very ready to sprint off!), but he was relaxed, and we got some photos!

People called for one, so here it is, a Nick bug shot. This ant was hefting this boulder sized pebble - working harder than us up a hill.
