I started to "Virtually" Bike Across Canada

So it's doing the mapping part & writing the travel journal for as if i was actually doing the trip. (which i plan on it for next year)

Here's a basic map i made up from http://hikebikemap.de/ and just using windows PaintBrush & the 'PrtScr' button on the keyboard.

From Across Canada Trails

I'm drawing in the route (daily trip) using bikemap.net as it has a nice OpenCycleMap background.

Bike route 511872 - powered by Bikemap 

Because the actual trail has not yet been mapped (i know that it exists) so i just guessed. My hopes is that by next year, someone will have actually bike/hiked this Log Train Trail.

You can see the red dashed line. Thats the 'proposed National Cycle Network' (in Canada we dont have a National Cycle Network (nor do i know of a proposed one). So i am actually (formally) proposing this route, as i go along. And people are commenting as i go. (and making recommendations). This NCN is a slighly different route than what im 'virtually' biking. As im 'virtually' taking a long time to cover the route.

That's all for now,
Happy Mapping
