Summer 2013 Bike Across Canada
Hey Guys!
So I know we're students, and we're supposed to work all summer for minimum wage. However, this summer I really want to bike from the west to east coast of Canada. I do lots of spin classes and bike often, but I'm not pro! We live in a beautiful country though, and this has always been on my bucket list. If anyone's interested flip me an e-mail, [email protected] .... I'm thinking it would be a great way to raise money for heart disease or something. Lemme know your thoughts!

If you stick to staying Canada, it's 248 hours non-stop each way. Good Luck!

This is something I have always wanted to do, but I don't believe it would be right for me at this time. It is not that rare for people to attempt this now adays and could possibly be a flop without the right exposure. Anyone know of any cycling/biking clubs here @Mac?

It seems like your 248 hours is completely cutting out Eastern Canada...
