This one is amazing. I wanted to do it next year, but they are asking 4000$ registration fee, and a fund raising of 25000$ All this to be done in 1 year. It is still on my mind but the almost 30K would be very hard to get. But if I had the sponsorship I would do the ride (pass it on).

The speed is not bad when your in a Pelaton, but its the 30K to raise.

Well, that's too much money to raise & I would have a lot of trouble keeping up to that speed. I know it's easier in a peloton, but you still have to lead from time to time.

If you'd like something easier to aim for, there's another cross-Canada bike ride that's done every year. The ride starts in Vancouver & ends 7,500 km later in St. John's, Newfoundland.  They don't raise money for anything, so fund-raising's not a problem, and they don't ride so fast or so far each day. They average about 140 km a day.  The only downside is that they take about 70 days to cross the country. That means you'd sort of have to be retired. It costs about $4,000.  If you'd like more information or would just like to dream about it (like me), their website is http://www.tourducanada.com/

I know someone who's been on the trip, and he said, "It's the experience of a lifetime.  You have to do it".  He also said, "After the first week, you're in shape, and then you hit the Rockies".   Well, it must be fun coming back down.

I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to actually do it, but it's nice to dream.  At least it's within my capabilities, physically & monetarily.

Diane; Your determination alone will get you to Quebec city, No Problem.

ME TOO! I'm riding every meter of this ride. My Mom passed away a year and a half ago from complications after breast cancer surgery so this ride is for her.

Diane, you will certainly make it. I can feel the determination in your words. Also, I've been sort of keeping track of your progress & I must say it's quite impressive. I'm sure you'll make everyone who knows you proud.

When you're riding with others, you will automatically find yourself pushing not to fall behind, & that's a powerful incentive. I've done many long rides (up to 240 km per day), and if I can offer some advice, it would be not to worry too much about your speed. No matter how slowly you're going, as long as you're moving, you're making some progress, so just don't stop too much.

Who knows, we could meet in Quebec City.
