Vancouver to Cape Breton: Robin Todd’s Solo Bikepacking Trip Across Canada
Robin Todd, 57, wants you to know that you can do big things, and that a grilled cinnamon bun will help significantly at the end of a long rainy day.
Last fall, Robin bikepacked alone for 6,800 kilometers (4,225 miles) from Vancouver, British Columbia to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She’s always been an adventurer, but this journey across Canada was done in part to prove that age isn’t a factor when it comes to adventure, especially for women.

DER JUNGE MUSS VON DER STRASSE
The latest from Ad Lips Productions has all the feels… Watch as Marc Maurer reconciles his dream of circling the globe by bicycle.
Back in the days I always thought I need to ride as many kilometers
or meters in elevation as possible
Or that I have to have a high average speed
At some point I realized that it was total nonsense
I just want to have fun and want to be free riding my bike.
I don’t want to torture myself all the time
I just don’t like the whole performance idea
