Cycling Trans-Labrador Highway 1996

Back to the Travel Page

In August/September 1996 we I cycled through Northern Quebec to Labrador and along the Trans-Labrador Highway to the coast.

Starting in Quebec City, we took the very only road that exists in this land for 1000's of square miles. We followed it to the interiour of Northern Quebec and Labrador, finally crossing the whole country to reach the coast in Goose Bay (from which the ferry took us to Newfoundland, which we crossed to St. Johns). Certainly one of the remotest places we ever visited by bike. And certainly one of the hardest trips we ever did with lots of hilly stretches, gravel road, myriads of black flies, and the killingly vast distances that come with the size of the country. Still we encountered an incredibly beautiful land, full of undisturbed nature.
