Eva, thanks so much for the offer. I appreciate it. Any ideas for cheap lodging in Halifax?

Yes, ladies, and he's single, too! Julie – Agreed, it's a pretty cool trip they're planning. I'm really, really excited to see how it goes. Remind me to tell you more about Sam sometime – he's a bit of an inspiration. Just back from a civilian posting in Afghanistan, has worked in Zimbabwe and Nigeria, and when I was little he was never stingy with the piggy-back rides.

Oooh, sounds great! Let me know if you want any Halifax/Nova Scotia recs… I lived in Hali for 4 years and loved every minute.

Eva- I thought I'd checked out their website awhile back, but I guess I didn't. Just visited and… wow! More than $17,000 already raised! And wow! What a nice guy Sam is… always giving props to other people who have helped on the journey, giving recommendations for the guys who've helped equip the bikes, etc. What a nice cousin you have!

I'm actually headed to your homeland, a 5-week tour around NS, PEI, and NB. Just for fun, unfortunately–nothing as noble as raising money for an organization like Spread the Net.

Cheers! As someone getting ready to set off on a -cycle trip of my own (bi-, not motor-), I raise my glass. Can't wait to follow along with their journey.
