When Chris Aubichon got himself a new bike and left for an ambitious bike trip across Canada from his home in Moncton, N.B., in May, he wasn’t sure what to expect.

His first week on the road was challenging. The 44-year-old realized that his body was protesting as he pedaled, leaving him with sore legs and a sense of exhaustion.

However, Chris kept going despite the pain and woke up one day to realize that his body was starting to adapt, making it easier for him to spend longer hours on the road.
