Leaving at 20, alone, in search of freedom, to discover the unknown, to find yourself and meet others...

Adopted by Sherbrooke, now a physiotherapist by profession and father of three young children, the author gives us, 25 years later, the logbook of his bicycle journey across Canada.

The adventure takes place in 1978, at a time when Quebec is in the midst of political change.

Crossing the country from west to east, our solitary cyclist relates the concerns of a country threatened with separation and helps us discover the diversity of its regions, the beauty of its landscapes, the vastness of the territory, the simplicity of the present moment.

Far from being a succession of sufferings as is often the case in these long expeditions, this story makes us realize that a project of this scale certainly involves trials, but also beautiful surprises, and above all, great
moments of fullness and wonder.

A meeting that takes us back in time, but which also makes us dream of getting our bikes out as soon as possible, to hit the road in our turn, in search of our own
horizons...

We also find a wealth of information there for
the success of such an expedition.
