It is not a territory [with] high mountain ranges, for example, but it has its own character, very northern and very rugged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The route<\/h2>\n<p>The wheeled portion of the trip passes through Montreal and turns northwest to Val-d&#8217;Or before heading directly north to Chisasibi. Lalande-Markon will be solo for this portion, as Goneau already cycled this route in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>That journey was part of Goneau&#8217;s failed attempt to traverse Quebec from north to south entirely by bicycle. It ended when difficult conditions and pandemic-related worries combined to force an early bailout. For the record, Goneau &#8220;remains convinced that the portion north of Chisasibi could be ridden [in] good conditions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75220\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75220\" class=\"wp-image-75220 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238-700x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238-700x583.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238-768x639.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238-1536x1279.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31155913\/Screenshot-2023-01-31-073238.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-75220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The route. Illustration: Expedition Transbor\u00e9ale 2023<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lalande-Markon, an experienced adventure cyclist, is applying the lessons learned from Goneau&#8217;s previous expedition to this year&#8217;s effort. For instance, his steel-framed fatbike has an internal, belt-driven <a href=\"https:\/\/pinion.eu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinion gearbox<\/a>. The belt is a rubber-and-carbon-composite material that should stand up to the corrosive conditions that plagued Goneau in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The bike route makes heavy use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesbayroad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Bay Road<\/a> and a network of roads built and maintained by Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec. Goneau will join Lalande-Markon in Chisasibi. Here, the two will strap on skis and follow a coastal route north along Hudson Bay. The pair will resupply four times at Inuit villages along the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The [interactions] in the communities are part of our experience and we do not want to deprive ourselves of their conveniences,&#8221; Lalande-Markon noted.<\/p>\n<p>The duo expects the journey to take about 100 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Lessons from the past<\/h2>\n<p>Simon-Pierre Goneau and Samuel Lalande-Markon are not the first to undertake a human-powered, south-to-north traverse of Quebec, though their route might be the longest such attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The four-man 1980 expedition led by Andre Laperriere and Louis Craig took a more remote, shorter, inland route from Montreal to <a href=\"https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/akor-expedition-complete-1500km-to-nain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ungava Bay<\/a>. They skied and pulled sleds the entire way. A 2014 team later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/montreal\/skiing-team-sets-off-on-2-000-km-cross-quebec-adventure-1.2477125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honored their expedition with a similar route<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Although the destination was less northerly, the management of supplies was more complex. [The Laperriere\/Craig] expedition has a legendary aura,&#8221; Lalande-Markon said. &#8220;Our conditions [on the coastal route] will be different. Probably faster for [skiing], but more exposed to the wind and also inhabited by polar bears.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75225\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75225\" class=\"size-large wp-image-75225\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"Simon-Pierre Goneau\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/www.explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31164721\/simon-pierre-goneau-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-75225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simon-Pierre Goneau.
