From Sea to Shining Sea: One Woman's Cycle Trip Across Canada from Mile 0 in British Columbia to Mile 0 in Newfoundland (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453855157)

Join Patti, a 52-year-old Canadian woman, as she recounts her adventure cycling across Canada from Mile 0 in British Columbia to Mile 0 in Newfoundland - up and over the mountain passes of British Columbia, against fifty km per hour winds in the Saskatchewan prairies, enjoying hospitality of friends and strangers across the country. Cycling into a town loaded down with panniers is a great conversation starter, in any language. Luckily, English across Canada is the same (except for accents) and if you find a French ambassador or if you remember even a bit of that old high school French, you can survive in Qu bec and other French-speaking areas. Canadians across the land are friendly, curious, helpful, empathetic and hospitable.Be inspired as you see how a person with determination and courage can overcome difficulties and make their dream come true. This is not a cycle touring guidebook, but a general guidebook to cycling across Canada. The travelogue part of this book is based on a journal that Patti tried to write in every day.
