Cycling Trans-Labrador Highway
Actually our journey starts in New York, where we had to go for professional
reasons. Why we went to Labrador then? Well that's a strange story.
We just knew in advance that it's too hot around New York to cycle conveniently
in summer. So we got ourselves a map and went northward with our fingers.
The northern-most road we could find was titled "Trans-Labrador Highway".
It looked remote and adventurous. Definitely a challenge to cycle it. And
so...
From New York we take a car to go to Quebec City to start cycling there.
Watching whales adds another attraction to the journey.
From Baie-Comeau the road takes us into the remoteness of inner
Northern Quebec.
Although paved, many steep sections cost us a lot of power. Still we know
this is just the beginning.
It takes us a couple of days to reach one of the last outposts - the Maniq
