Henri Do does TCBR 2022
Week Two | June 22, 2022
Today, the view is breathtaking, and so is the weather. The great region of Vancouver is showing off in front of Henri, who is completely amazed. 400 km are covered, to lead Henri to the city of Kelowna, BC.
A glimmer of hope in Henri’s heart, who can finally accomplish the expected distance without being wet to the bone.
Well done my friend.

Week Two | June 21, 2022
Rain, rain, rain, when will you stop bothering our friend Henri? 200 km in the bag. Henri is now out of Vancouver, and is just on the periphery of the big city, in the municipality of Abbotsford. He offers himself a bit of sleep before hitting the road again for a big day tomorrow!

Week Two | June 20, 2022
Smaller day after the huge day in the saddle yesterday. 200 km to finally arrive in Vancouver. Relief. Guess what? Pouring rain all day long, once again… But at least Henri will be able to enjoy civilization and eat a real meal, without candy or chocolate!

Week Two | June 19, 2022
Wow. Big day. 400 kilometres and 5600 m of elevation gain. That’s a lot of climbing. And all these gravel roads don’t leave any respite. Henri has to be constantly focused, and the slightest technical mistake could become fatal. Not to mention the continuous climbs at 15% gradient.
The landscapes on the approach to Vancouver are simply breathtaking. 20 hours in the saddle later, Henri arrives in Whistler with the feeling of having accomplished his duty.

Week One | June 18, 2022
Departure from Prince-George! Henri’s energy level is a bit low today. The long and steep climbs are starting to get difficult, as well as the lack of sleep.
The pouring rain leads him to Williams Lake, for a 250 km day in the saddle. It’s time for the sun to come out!

Week One | June 17, 2022
Departure from Smithers on this Friday morning, towards the city of Prince-George. About 380 km on the menu. The weather was quite clement today. Henri enjoys the sunrays that warm him up at the end of the day, and give him a boost of energy. The sight of a Costco also comforts Henri, who starts a well-deserved return to civilization. Objective of the day accomplished.
Keep it up man.

He allows himself a night in an hostel, to shower and enjoy a little sleep, before leaving again at the end of the evening, once the rain has passed.

Week One | June 15, 2022
20,000 calories, 515 kilometres and 21 hours in the saddle later, Henri finally put his foot down to enjoy a few hours of sleep.
The longer he pedals, the faster he reaches civilization. The long and perilous crossing of the Cassiar Highway is now behind him
Despite this small victory, another huge day is waiting tomorrow.

Bears, porcupines and other wild animals did, however, decorate his journey to his great happiness, but not without occasional fears!
Tomorrow is another day.

Week One | June 13, 2022
After yesterday's hard day, the weather is getting better. During the day, Henri crosses the border between Yukon and British Columbia. 480 km are covered today.
Everything is going well, the sensations are good. It looks good for the rest of the week. The only concern: the weather forecast is not very encouraging...
Week One | June 12, 2022
The big start is here! Henri is in the saddle, at the top of his form, at 6 am. First objective: to take on the Yukon and its savage plains. Henri moves forward, despite the hazards.
No more than ten degrees on the menu, in addition to a torrential downpour. The road is long and strenuous. Henri revises his daily mileage objective to a more modest level.
