Shirley and I have just returned from a week of cycling in Tuscany. I can recommend it for training purposes as it consists of allmost entirely riding up and down impossibly steep hills. We never located any flat roads there, but the compensations included fabulous views and the joys of riding through 14th century hill towns, drinking Chianti and eating Panforte. Riding across Canada will doubtless be a different experience and we salute your 'courageous' decision to take on the windswept Canadian outback. We look forward to following your adventure on your blog. good luck and best wishes from Paul and Shirley Hi Len and Judy
