funny abouty your trip on two counts: one, I'm planning an east-to-west jaunt next summer, and two I was going to wait until the new year until I made mention and started with questions.
my plan is Ottawa to Indianapolis the end of June, then up to Winnipeg and across to Kelowna/probably Vancouver and if I'm that close, to the Island so I can ride the #4.
I'm taking a sabbatical so I'll be leaving Ottawa June 20 or so and returning the end of August, slow west, faster back. I figure 10 days coming home and think you are absolutely crazy -- or ballsy, don't know which one -- to cross Canada twice in three weeks! However, check out
ironbutt.com's Trans Canada ride/rules and their
riding tips [I'm paying attention for my tin butt ride].
who knows, we may cross paths sometime!
oh, and I'm taking the minimum of camping equipment -- cash for hotels! and hoping, of course, to be able to find people I used to know for a place to crash.
fwiw, looking for a back seat bag [given up on a hard case trunk] and have a windscreen -- wouldn't go without one now, but I take it off for in town or short rides. also have a tank bag. gonna take my laptop along and blog the trip too.
