Planning a Trip across Canada in 2012
Hello
I'm planning a trip across Canada in 2012. I'm am looking for some advice/links about the following: - What is the best time of year to cross Canada. I'm starting in Victoria, B.C. and riding east and then coming back to Victoria after getting to the east coast of Canada. I've got heated grips and heated vest for cold, but being from Victoria, I'm a little worried about that hot, humid weather I hear about in Ontario. But I'm also not wanting to ride in snow or ice in the passes.
- I'm wondering about how much time I need to take off work for this trip.
- I also thought about coming back through the US, rather than Canada.
- And the other option would be to ship my bike east and come back west for a one way trip.
- Any places that are a must see?
- I'm on a very minimal budget, so will be camping and making many of my own meals and looking for any free or good deals is a must.
Thanks
Sheila
