I rode my bike around BC for a month and couldn’t stop taking picutres of roads and trails. Here is the video they turned into.
The absolute low point of the trip came during the first week after I rolled exhausted into Lillooet. It was the first town I’d seen in days and I was eager to eat a hamburger. Later that night I found myself eager to barf over and over. Anyways I stayed in a hotel for a few days and watched the World Cup. On the third day I got up enough energy to buy some duct tape at the dollar store and turn my room into a camera obscura.
