i won't leave you hanging

Made it to Brandon. My wheel was pretty much shot by the time i got here, but i'm getting a new one one put in, and a few more small tune-ups. The bike should be good to go in an hour or so

Thank you for the update <3 so glad to know you are safe!
If sometimes you have a bit of time...I would so love to see your tour up to now on a map! I don't know Canada at all, I obviously could google the places you have mentioned, but if you have already kept everything traced, that would be great!

I haven't been keeping a map because i don't want my journey to turn into a "count the miles" dick-measuring contest. But i have to admit, i am also a bit curious to see exactly where i ended up traveling! I think i will have to sit down someday in a motel and spend an afternoon just drawing it all up. It's tough because i took some odd backroads so i'll need to do it in a really good mapping app. I don't think Google has enough waypoints.

For now, imagine Canada, and Vancouver all the way over in the bottom left hand corner. Then go northeast a few hundred km, that's Kamloops. From Kamloops i went east for a bit, then snaked my way southeast and southwest to the US border, and since then i have zigged and zagged northeast and southeast all the way through to almost the Great Lakes, never straying too far from the border.

Thank you! I have looked up a few of the bigger places when you mentioned them, and it is really fascinating to see.

Glad you made it!

Great! I was worried about your wheel suddenly collapsing.

Yay! I'm glad your wheel made it and that you will be all fixed up for the next leg!

Enjoy your little taste of civilization - looking forward to hearing about what is next!
