I was so happy to find this incredible route in my own province. Have you enjoyed any adventures closer to home lately?

[davidrobinson]

I've cycled Toronto to Montreal six times I think. It's always such a great route, and it's gotten better over the years. It used to be just highway #2, but now there are lots of options.
If you're up to a bigger challenge, try riding the Gaspé. It's breathtaking and quiet and my favourite cycling route of all.
I'll follow your trip with interest. Be safe.

Nice. Glad to find out there's a waterfront trail to Montreal.

Just found your videos and I love them! Your energy and excitement are contagious! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. :)

You found yourself a great guy, and the two of you are so cute together.

Very nice video and bike tour. Can’t wait to see part two.

This was so great to see! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I rode the waterfront and the Milennium Trail recently and had a great time on both.

Looks like you picked a great route! Nice video.

Thanks for sharing your trek! If you could add the places you've stayed at (I know you did mention that Cedar Valley Resort!), or towns you went thru, that would be super. I've done this in the opposite direction, but back in the day there was no Millennial Trail, etc.!

I would bike from Toronto to Montreal if I had a tailwind the whole time and no rain.

Great start of the trip. How were your wrists holding up?

I have cycled on The Water Front Trail twice, first time from Toronto to Kingston and the second time as part of a very large tour from Dundas through to Quebec City (following Route Verte 5 which I think as the Quebec's Water Front Trail). I would be interested to learn your exact route as I am looking to do a variations on that route as well which would be a loop passing through Ottawa, which I missed doing in '15 due in part to a bad cold I caught. When ever I get back to Toronto in the cycling season, I would like to do it again. It has been a while since I have been touring and I really miss doing it.

Perfect.
I really enjoy your adventure.
How do you usually find the campsites on your routes?

[guyonabike]

Is your riding partner actually doing this on a single speed?? I know it’s said the best touring bike is the one you have - but my knees are getting sore just thinking about it! Ride safe.

[emilykerns]

Great video. Been thinking of doing this trip myself. How many MSR propane tanks did you guys go through on this trip? Not sure how many will do the job. Thanks

[ziba]

question! did you manage to bike with normal tires or did you need rougher tires than normal hybrid tires? It looks like you have hybrid bikes :D -- just curious about the tire type --

i want to make this trip this summer!!! :D so excited!

Teens don't wear the "Black Hole of Invisibility." These two patriots love to look thin at their funeral, but "Maximum Visibility" is the thing for teens. Dark clothing makes you hard to see in the shadows, with sunglasses wearing drivers. Also, dooring is popular with "invisible cyclists." The future of cycling is ethical and garish. Be like Don Cherry and put your foot in your mouth - wearing bright flashy colours - as you gobble your tootsies!!! Don't be a victim with the ultrafashionable "Black Hole of Invisibility!" It's for "The Future Road Fodder of Canada." A proud organization of sleazy cyclists - who love to show the young how to groove to the
