The Trans Canada Highway (Highway 1) starts in Victoria, British Columbia, at the intersection of Douglas Street and Dallas Road where the Mile 0 marker stands. Although we will avoid large parts of Highway 1 due to traffic, it is nevertheless a fitting point to begin any cycle journey across the country.
Officially, today was the first cycle on our trans Canada route. However, after taking the picture we returned to the hotel and had a day out in Victoria. It is a holiday after all. Our total distance cycled on Day 1 was therefore 0.5km. If we can keep this rate up it will take us 15,420 days to reach St.John's in Newfoundland - that's roughly 42 yrs 3 months if we don't have any rest days. Nobody said it was easy!
42 years 3 months - what a way to go! If you can still cycle by then I might want to join you. Best of luck! Dave
