Getting Ready to Cross Canada

For the past many months, I have been preparing my mind, body and spirit for an amazing journey to cross Canada by bike. As you might imagine, it has been a daunting job - one that I've taken on with curiosity, interest, and let's be honest, some anxiety (my great motivator).

I'm buzzing with anticipation as I'm pulling all the pieces and parts together. I am ever grateful for the patience of those I connect with regularly who get to hear me talk on and on and on about every detail of trip preparations.

Months of preparation have now turned into weeks - 15 weeks to be precise.

That equates to 45 more gym workouts and 5 more trips to the nail salon.
