The idea for this trip started some months back.  We have both been interested in traveling by bike, but didn't have a particular destination.  We wanted an adventure and, more important, we wanted to spend at least several months traveling at a biker's pace, which would give us the opportunity that we don't often get - to slow down and take in all of our surroundings. 

Our first idea was to ride the Northern Tier Route, which spans the northern United States.  But then the idea of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Québec regions of Canada came to mind.  After some research --- the trip was born!  We will travel through northern Maine, then into Canada and from there, drop down into Vermont to Lake Champlain.  After that .... well, we'll wait and see.

Our bike trip will begin in Acadia National Park, where we will camp for four nights.  Neither of us has visited the park and we are eager to arrive and begin our journey on two wheels.

However, before we leave for the east coast, take a quick trip down the California coast in our very cool Honda Element with ECamper!  We will be visiting family before we head east. We will hike Fish Ranch in Monterey, surf at Asilomar beach, head further south to SLO, then north again and camp at beautiful Kirk Creek camp ground.

Follow our trip as we ride, hike, surf and camp.... it's sure to be a true adventure!  Filled with ridiculous moments, breathtaking beauty, and, likely, sore butts!
