Ally his other son is in charge of tech and video.<br /> They are just entering the Rockies now.<br /> Not too long left to go (under 1000 miles?). They've worn out some tyres already.<br /> <em>Someone has to do it I suppose!</em><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/9599133428/" title="Trans Canada on Fuegos by LaidBackBikes, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3722/9599133428_462d71c7ae.jpg" alt="Trans Canada on Fuegos" /></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9631#post-118116 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:03:56 +0000 LaidBack 118116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They are one month into trip.

Canada extends to Newfoundland - so a trans-Canada cycle could/should start in St John's, Newfoundland.<br /> Not sure if Coast to Coast is right either - no doubt I'll be told shortly. This is what happens when you use other people's countries to cycle in! ;-)</p> <p><a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/policy/acg-acgd-menu-highways-map-2152.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/policy/acg-acgd-menu-highways-map-2152.htm</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9631#post-103070 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:34:24 +0000 Dave 103070@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thought this might be interesting to a few of you, esp. since it's for a local good cause:</p> <p><a href="http://mccraw.co.uk/trans-canada-charity-ride/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8370/8534282844_69f1b1849b.jpg"></a></p> <p>How many families would you find <a href="http://mccraw.co.uk/trans-canada-charity-ride/">crossing a continent</a> rather than queuing up at Krispy Kreme? </p>
