1. The Trans-Labrador Highway is pretty desolate. They issue satellite phones to cars traveling down it, as if you run into trouble you won't otherwise be able to find help. The road itself isn't in great shape either, and will be full of transport trucks (OK, maybe "full" isn't quite the word, but they'll be a large fraction of the traffic). If you've read reports of other cyclists taking it, then I guess you know what you're in for, but if not you should be very careful. The coastal boat can also be tricky.
2. There's this really handy website you should look into, it's called tinyurl.com :) Or just put some slightly more sensible text between your tags, it's doing unpleasant things to my friends page.
I am so in if time permits (unlikely but probable) I wouldn't mind passing by Quebec or something, kind of liked the food there... Now also good point. I sure hope that north Ontario is nice enough. When do u plan to hit the road?

20km/h is reasonable with a loaded bike; which is only 8 hours a day on the road.
At the height of summer, the days are 16 hours long so there would be plenty of time for the other things that need doing. I was also expecting there won't be much to do in Northern Quebec, so it would be pretty quickly :-)

Crazy?
Sincerely,
Yes.

That aside, that looks pretty cool. (But not for me!)
