First Day of Spring = Decision Time

We chose the first day of spring (March 20, 2009) as a deadline to make a final decision about our world tour by bicycle: To go or not to go?

We decided ... drum roll please ... TO GO!

And we decided that we would start pedalling on our Dream Bicycle Trip in June 2010.

Here is a rough itinerary of what we'll be doing in preparation for our departure:
  • Move out of our apartment. Reduce our belongings to what we'll need for cycling and for one more year in Montreal.
  • Take a summer cycling trip to Newfoundland for 6-7 weeks. Test out new equipment along the way.
  • Move in with friends at the end of the summer. Continue to work and save $$ until we leave.
