In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have the chance to catch up with Jim and Mary Boate. I first met Jim and Mary while out for a bike ride in the Gatineau Park in the fall of 2022. After a quick chat that lasted until the turn-off to Mackenzie King Estates, I was certain that I wanted to get them on the podcast at some point to share their journey.
Routes Discussed:
G2G Rail Trail (Guelph to Goderich)
