new Blog

So due to the frustration of never getting this blog to accept comments i have created a new blog (with the exact same comments settings) that does!

The new blog will be centred on the plan to hike the Appalachian trail. I hope to have pictures from training hikes and maybe other stuff, some links to info about the madness and my generally foolish thoughts.

Musings of a madman

Ok I`ve been putting this off long enough. I`ve been back to werk for a week now so I have no more excuses. In a nutshell: real life sucks. On the tour I would joke to the kids that a day biking uphill, in the rain, with a headwind was better than a day behind a desk. Now I know I wasn`t joking. That said, I`m never biking the Cabot trail again and things are fine at werk. If I had it to do all over again yeah, there are things I might do differently but I`d do it.

Will I bike across Canada again? Never say never but right now I`d like to do other stupid big trips. (Yes Appalachian trail I got my eye on you) I would like to drive across the country though. Either by car or motor bike. I`d like to see some stuff I had to skip, eat at the `other` restaurant in a few places and generally compare the two experiences. It might be interesting to reflect that it took me all day to pedal what I just drove in two hours...

Should you bike across Canada? If you want to yes, but if you have some other `too big` thing you want to do I say make it happen. It will be worth the sacrifices you will have to make.

A typical day on the road



Yes there`s some relief in my face at this point (done)



I`ll be posting pics to facebook as well (in the coming weeks).
