Bikebacking training - training for our bikepacking trip to South America

Ottawa  • 

#bikepacking #biketouring #laurakellandmay We are training for our bikebacking adventure beginning Oct. 2nd. In light of our trip coming up we have started to do some training and decided to cycle to Pinks lake in Gatineau Park ( http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places-to-visit/gatineau-park/pink-lake ) Round Trip from west end Ottawa it was 2 1/2 hours. I condensed the trip into 2 minutes of fun. We started out stron but man... I was flagging the last 2 kilometres home. Had to walk and my head was pounding.
