Paul Mondor from Victoria BC just rode a motorbike coast to coast across Canada in January, arriving in St.Johns Newfoundland today.

It is an absolutely amazing story, told in a english but "written in a french canadian accent".

He details his story here:

Thanks for this story. It's an interesting one.

Although in my view, this girl's story is still the most "hardcore biker" story ever told:

The Ghost Town by Elena Filatova

Talk about the bike ride into the heart of a ghost town what radiation polluted Chernobyl area is today. Excellent photography and story telling too. Very spooky and well worth reading too!
