Bike Touring Travelers

This couple from Germany came in to the ranger station and were doing a bike tour. They started in Alaska and are ending in LA. Their Blog. You can translate it from German by copying and pasting the link into various tools online.








Someday I want to do a big bike tour. I have no interest in biking across America, even if it is for charity. Ever since I worked at Rose Bicycle in Maine, and thanks to Jim, I've wanted to do Cape Bretton or the main part of Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island. The Beal Family and I did a quick car tour of Nova Scotia. I'd rather tour the Western side I think, then tie in a canoe trip somehow in their Kemjimkujik Seaside Adjunct National Park. Or another canoe trip in Algonquin Provincial Park deeper into the park would be amazing... or the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (right Jen?).



Last summer at Onion River Sports we had Furtemba Sherpa, stop in our shop before we closed for a quick repair. I think Dean-o was there too to help. Furtemba speaks little English, from my encounter, but he is a man from Nepal who has been sponsored by his country since 2003 to cycle to every country promoting world peace and environmental protection. Mayor Blumberg even wrote him a letter. whoa.
