A new blog for an old idea

I've been intending to do this trip for a few years now, but this will be the Summer for it.

The current plan is to dip my tires in the waters of the Pacific Ocean at Stanley Park, Vancouver on or about the 3rd of July 2011 and to dip them again in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Signal Hill, St John's sometime around the 3rd of September. Yes... I know that if it's a bay or an inlet or a harbour it's not technically ocean, but bear with me.

The route is still somewhat vague, though I've decided on the following:

1) I'll start from Vancouver and end in St. John's,
2) I'll pass through each of the 10 provinces,
3) I'll be taking the Crowsnest Pass through the Rocky Mountains,
4) I'll be taking a route that doesn't include Southern Ontario,
5) I'll be taking the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to PEI (probably on a bus as I don't believe bicycles are allowed),
6) I'll take a ferry from PEI to Nova Scotia,
7) I'll take a ferry from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland,
8) I'll mostly be sleeping in a tent (which I'll be carrying in paniers), and
9) all of this will take about two months...

Also, the blog isn't quite "ready to go" yet. It should be done in a week or two.
