Just go

Leaving Montreal via the massive Jacques Cartier bridge towards road 132, we experience the very first shiver: far from any kind of realization of what we’re actually doing, more of a brief breath, mixed feelings, like a first perceptible tremor, the end of another chapter from the book of our life.

Marten's campground

We wake up in a shabby motel room in Morris, Minnesota. We take the time to lubricate the drive chains and to check the tire pressure, then we hit the road. Riding due south, we soon find ourselves in a landscape that would be the setting of our everyday lives for days to come: the Great Plains, America’s Breadbasket.

The first times

We ride through a typical Belle Province landscape. Lakes, pines, deciduous trees. The low rolling hills offer some nice twists and turns in which the bikes lean from side to side, in a way that feels just natural. We let them slide in fourth gear, visors open, big smiles on our faces.
