new from Hamilton, Ontario
Hey, I'll be going solo from Ontario to BC in a few weeks (leaving mid-May, should be there by early July), if anyone else is going that way I'd love to have a riding buddy even part-way. Any tips/tricks for touring would be helpful, too, as this is my first long-distance venture!

Welcome to BikeForums, Gwen! Are you sure you wanna go that way??? It's uphill and against the wind!
Good luck to you on your trip, I'd love to go too, but I hafta work. I can maybe help start you off, make sure you're headed in the right direction!
Some advice: try a short tour 2 day tour beforehand to make sure you have everything sorted out. Everything you need to know can be found at https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/, https://www.biketouring101.com/ or on the touring forum here
I might be heading east in the summer to Nova Scotia, nothing firm yet.
