Wow…biking on the Trans-Taiga. Next time, get a hold of the Crees. We have camps all along the road and we would love to help make your travels a lot better.

Inspiring to see an epic journey like that. The joy of cycling in nature must have been great. Fishing aswell to eat, amazing experience. It's a eye opener for adventure.Well done guys.

[@Ew-pc5pk]

Great job of giving us a picture of the land you rode on.

[@PiquePictures]

Beautiful video! What an amazing adventure. Hoping for some adventure rides like this in BC this summer.

[@goldenretriever6261]

I just googled " northern mist point you can drive in Quebec". Then i found this road and thought it would be cool to ride it on a gravel bike! I've raced against you guys in the past.(on skis and bikes)

[@christopherallan3464]

hey thanks for paying my province a visit... or merci davoir visiter mon province

[@AeroFlix4D]

It's a very beautiful video.

That is a very United Statesian take on a foreign issue. How did you get inside Canada during the pandemic? The border was closed.

That was great. A tour is even better when you learn something about the area you are traveling through. I have been wanting to ride that part of Canada for some time now. Hopefully in the next couple of years. Looks like you were running 32s for tires or close? Was that adequate for you?

[@felixantoinetremblay]

I did it on 45s. 32 should do it, but it won't be ideal: smaller tire = more pressure = bumpier ride This is probably the best maintained gravel road you'll get to ride on. It's a bit worse east of Brisay though.

Interesting video but...basically when you are talking about the environmental impact of the James Bay Project you don't know what you are talking about. You should be grateful that this project allowed you to have access to such an incredible road. The population of geese is doing very well since the completion of the project. Regarding the caribous their population varies greatly over decade since thousands of years and the James Bay project is for little in this. The thing about the rise of mercury level is grossly exaggerated. And you can show no case of empoisoning by the mercury in the area because of the project. The introduction of industrial food in the area, like the 'energy drink'' you had have a much more impact on the health of the crees than the mercury. The James Bay agreement have been very good for every one around including the cree. They love the James Bay road witch allowed them to have access to the outside world by the road. And they are the main users of the trasntaîga outside of Hydro-Québec, because it allow them to have an easy access to their fishing and hunting territories. The crees collectively have plenty of money. They drive these big SUV you see so often on the James Bay road. They are politically well organize. The area flooded by the creation of theses big dams is impressive, but the territory inn witch it happen is so huge that in the end it is not that much and it did not affect wildlife that much either. We can see on your vido that you are still in a great olace for wildlife despite some 40 years of the realization of the project. Also... the trip should have cost you a lot of money, unless you foiund a way to be subsidize one way or another. The cost of the airplane you took to get at the end of the Transtaîga is vey high. Good for you that you had the possibility of sharing this cost between 3 persons. And finally... there is no zero impact when you produce, transport and consume energy, but in the overall picture, the choice of building this huge hydro-electric complex have been a good one including for the cree. The choice for us in Québec at the beginning of the seventies was between this project or going for nuclear power plant. This is the choice they made in Ontario and else where in North America. But fortunatly we did otherwise.

"Estimated at 900,000 before the initiation of the Hydro Quebec project" -> This is false. The George River herd grew until 1993. Its population was less than 200 000 in the 1970s when the project began.

[@PhotoStoryChannel]

great adventure ........inspiring youth to do so....salam dari NTT indonesia

[@otisjacksonjunior9795]

The natives got paid, they wanted in on the project because of the economic benefits it brought. They'll be fine.

Greetings to Ryan! You've come a long way since testing experimental unicycle wheels for an old fart.

[@michaelfelber395]

Such a nice ride! Which Cannondale bike are you guys riding on that trail?

[@buckmiller5320]

Cannondale Topstones!

[@TempestOverlandAdventures]

@@buckmiller5320 Buck Miller, Taiga has been on my list of places… 😉

[@PBosco]

Hydro-Quebec supplies over 50% of QC with electricity. It has to come from somewhere -- there is no free lunch -- ever. The caribou herd is much stronger than depicted here. Stop complaining about a beautiful area while getting private flights to get there. This feels like a vanity project more than anything else. And finally, it what ways have you, "helped"?

[@jeremysweeten2792]

Awesome, but the bugs….I’m out!

[@gl4989]

Why did you have to turn this in woke propaganda ?

[@donkortlander3035]

At least the first guy who spoke lives there. At least one other lives in Ontario

[@donkortlander3035]

They live in southern Quebec. They are Canadian

[@donkortlander3035]

They were probably Americans living in Canada.
