RIDE FOR VETERANS 2023

the trans-labrador

The Trans Labrador Highway crosses some of the most remote sections of Canada, It’s no walk in the park, many sections composed of rough gravel, treacherous sand buildup, and long stretches of high winds battering your body for hours. But it’s a chance to test your riding abilities in a part of the World few ever see.

Trans-Labrador

 The Trans Labrador is a little over a thousand miles long, so you’ll need to stop for fuel a few times. Fortunately, there are several places to top off along the way. 


The first hundred miles of the route hugs the coast and passes through a number of small villages. You’ll want to stop for fuel at the last one, Port Hope Simpson, before heading off on the more remote sections of the highway; there will be no fuel for the next 260 miles. 


After that, you’ll be able to fuel up in Happy Valley (or Cartwright), Churchill Falls, Labrador City, and the small town of Manic 5. 


 The Trans-Labrador Highway is considered one of the loneliest roads to ride in North America. Labrador is a remote region of northeastern Canada, and the Trans-Labrador Highway is the only road connecting Blanc Sablon in the East and Labrador City in the West. 


It can also get rough: although it has ‘highway’ in its name, the road is anything but. Hundreds of miles of dirt, gravel, potholes, corrugations and unpredictable weather can turn the road into an impassable mess within a matter of hours. But it is the remoteness that brings people from all over the world. 


 The black bear population in Newfoundland and Labrador is flourishing, but my #1 headache won’t be a furry teddy: black flies and mosquitos are absolutely horrendous in Labrador,
