I’m just back from a lengthy trip to Halifax, where I did lots of things and saw lots of people. Colin and I went out for good times with numerous fun people (Hi Jay and Aimee! Hi Jen and Dave! Hi family! Hi everyone else!) one of whom was my friend Ian (hi Ian!), who was in Halifax for his sister’s wedding. While we were all out drinking tasty beers at Maxwell’s Plum (I have much love for that place! Go there.), Ian was discussing some of his future trip plans, which tend to involve, from my perspective, a jeep and many potentially dangerous and war torn countries. However, one of the side effects of this discussion was to revive my ongoing dream of biking across Canada, which I first mentioned in my blog 3 and a half years ago, here. After all, I figure that Canada has no active civil wars, no animals with poisonous fangs, and few air born or bug born or water born diseases or parasites. How hard can it be?
Now, of course, it is hard to say when such a trip could take
place, but the point was made that, without any planning, said trip could
*never* possibly take place. So my new goal is to get to the point where,
even if I don’t yet have the money or time components in place, I will at
least know what I would do should the money or time appear, and how much
time and money would then be required. With that in mind, a *vast* new
number of links on biking across Canada have appeared since 2004.
Apparently it is becoming quite the thing to do. Some people, like these people are doing it to
raise
money for various things. Other people are doing it for their own
reasons, like this
person. I’ll have to give it some thought.
