Ottawa to Fredericton - 2007

[Home]

In the spring of 2005 I decided I would complete my cross Canada tour by riding to Halifax, NS. Unfortunately, during training, I injured my knee. I still made the attempt, but barely made it out of the city. After a couple years of healing, I decided to make a second attempt on Halifax from Ottawa. This time I spent the entire summer training, and left in September, once the tourist season had finished. Unfortunately, my knee gave me some trouble and I ended up quiting in Fredericton, NB. I still had a good trip, although now I have to go back to New Brunswick at some point in my life and finish it.

Upon my return to work, my colleagues presented me with the above plaque. Unfortunately I did not continue the roadkill count so I cannot fill in the final provinces. I did however have another useless goal (which I spontaneously started on the second day of riding) of trying to prove that the employees of Elliptic Semiconductor are dominating the world. I have concluded that there still is some work to do in this regard.
